Description

Students majoring in English can study British literature at its source during the fall semester. This program offers upper-division English courses that allows them to progress toward their degrees on schedule, while gaining the immense benefits of the London experience. As students read works by writers such as Chaucer, Shakespeare, Keats, Dickens, and Woolf, they can visit the settings of the stories and poems, the homes of the authors, museum exhibits, and productions of plays. Many of the courses are repeatable up to 24 credit hours, allowing students to repeat a course in London's vastly different and enriching learning environment.

The Study Centre is located two minutes from the British Museum in the intellectually-rich neighborhood of Bloomsbury, the center of the Bloomsbury Group of writers, philosophers, and artists. Particular attention is placed on the Americans who lived in London, the effect of their experience, and the impact of London on American literature. Students visit other districts of London that are rich in literary associations such as Hampstead, Chelsea, and Greenwich. Outlying neighborhoods of London are used to trace the major London authors to their homes and work places. Drama is also explored as students attend performances of the plays they are studying on the London stage.

Eligibility
This program is designed for English majors or minors. Preference is given to upper division students who have the maturity and motivation to put in the required reading, writing, and work to accomplish a great deal of learning in the sphere of literary studies.

Housing
Students stay in furnished apartments in the Florida State London Study Centre or in comparable accommodations within central London.
