Join History instructor Dr. Michael Mangin for three weeks of historical study and fieldwork in London, one of the liveliest cities in the world.  This 3-unit course combines 12 hours per week of classroom instruction & several visits to historical and cultural sites.


Why Study in London?

• Experience life in a bustling, international city while conversing confidently with the locals.
• Broaden your horizons and live in your own apartment in central London.
• Walk the streets, see the sights, and become part of the city that has shaped so much of the world's history.
• Earn CSU/UC transferable academic credits with the city of London as your classroom.
• Study abroad not only enriches your life, but it will be academically rewarding.  Where else can you study about the Battle of Britain one day and visit the Cabinet War Rooms the next day?
