The Fall Internship Program in London will generally be split into two sections, with most of the academic coursework weighted towards the first six weeks of the term, and the internship being the focus for the second eight weeks. In the first six weeks, all students will take the British Life & Culture class, as well as two other courses chosen from the available course offerings. There will be a one week Winter Break following this first six week period of classes. During the second eight weeks of the term, students will begin their internship course and placement. The internship course will meet throughout this eight-week term, and the actual internship placement will be for four full consecutive days each week. During this time, the British Life & Culture course will continue to meet sporadically.
