International study and immersion in another culture provide an inquiry-driven
introduction to different perspectives, cultures and histories, as well as a
valuable background for working in the global economy. This program offers
students the unique opportunity to study communication and public speaking
in one of the most vibrant and exciting cities in Europe. Studies focus on
communication issues in Great Britain. Classroom lectures and presentations
are augmented with excursions to a multitude of London sites including
Speaker’s Corner in Hyde Park, where speakers have assembled to express
their views since the middle of the 19th Century. The program also uses
London’s varied theatre offerings as the lens through which students explore
rhetoric and didactic literature. All courses offered count toward requirements
of the Communication major and the Communication minor.
All Communications courses may be augmented for honors credit.
