Simpson's Semester in London 2007  

Jim Palmieri, Department of Business Administration and Economics 

 

The five courses being offered include the following:

 

• Introduction to British Culture and Society (Cornerstone 7)
• Art course to be determined (Cornerstone 5)
• English 290 - Virginia Woolf and The Bloomsbury Group (Cornerstone 4)
• Economics 290 - Economic Policies in Europe and the United States (Cornerstone 3)
• Economics 390 – The Immigrant Experience in London  

In keeping with the tradition of the Semester in London program, the five classes will stress Cornerstone Studies, specifically in areas 3, 4, 5, and 7.  All of the courses have a British theme, either as a primary focus or as part of a larger European perspective.  Service learning activities are incorporated in this schedule of classes involving immigrant and refugee experiences in London.

 

Students will have a direct experience with one of the most important urban centers in the world.
