Study Abroad in Britain

British Studies Program

A summer of study, research, and travel 

As a British Studies Program student, you can immerse yourself in a specialized course chosen from a wide range of academic disciplines for six undergraduate or graduate semester hours.

The British Studies Program, now in its fourth decade, is organized by Southern Miss through an academic consortium of 12 colleges and universities (see back cover). The purpose of the consortium is to promote a more profound understanding of British culture and society among students and faculty through scholarly and educational activities.

Three semester hours are satisfied through lectures taught by eminent British scholars, artists, business leaders or government officials, and field excursions and seminars led by American professors. The remaining three semester hours are satisfied by supervised research. Credit hours are awarded by The University of Southern Mississippi, a fully accredited institution of higher learning.
