Fall Quarter Program
Dates: September - December
Cost: see fees
Starting Fall 2009, the Fall Program in London will include two options: A) an internship emphasis and B) a Peace & Conflict Resolution. Each option includes academic coursework geared towards the central core of each option. The internship option is weighted towards the first seven weeks of the term, and the internship being the focus for the second eight weeks with a week break in between. In keeping with Santa Clara's commitment to educated solidarity and service to the global community, the Peace and Conflict Resolution focuses is on multi-cultures and matters of difference related to religion, gender, race, ethnicity and socio-economic class. A large part of the study includes field visits, workshops and peace memoranda, exposing students to global conflict scenarios and peace through mediation.
