Every year, the English and creative writing department sponsors a semester-long program of study in London. Led by a Colgate professor, the group gives students a unique opportunity to enrich their understanding of writing, literature, and theater.
The London English Study Group puts students in a dramatically new relationship to their major field of study at Colgate University.
The city is at the center of the study group’s curriculum. The program includes courses in London theater and the cultural history of London. Students also conduct independent work using the resources of the city. Visiting speakers include local scholars, actors, writers, and museum curators. Field trips to important sites in the British Isles play a crucial role in the program.
Students live in apartments conveniently located near the British Museum. They have affiliate membership in the University of London student union; they also receive National Trust memberships.
