Brethren Colleges Abroad (BCA) recently added a short-term study abroad option to their program choices. Led by Exeter native Dr. Stephen Burwood and Dr. Linnea Goodwin Burwood, students will experience British culture and history through a short term stay in London and Exeter.

A four-credit class titled “Living with History: History, Culture and Contemporary Life in England” will include part of the stay in England, where students will studying practical history.

Class work will focus on field work, so that students begin to understand the workings of the English system. The course will fulfill the Western cultural heritage requirement of the core.

“This is only a part of your journey,” Burwood said. “Your horizons have been opened. It helps you to understand what is going on here and now.”

Students will be exposed to various aspects of British culture, including but not limited to historical significance, business rules and regulations and what it is like for natives to live with history.

The program will run from May 21 until June 11, 2015. Students will be housed in hotels and hostels during the stay, while taking their class and excursions. There are no prerequisites for the courses, all of which will be offered in English.

The application deadline is April 15, 210 5. For more information, visit the BCA website at http://bcanet.org/, email E.inquiry@BCAStudyAbroad or schedule a meeting with a BCA advisor.

The study abroad office is located in Myer Hall. An informational meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 18, in Myer Hall at 7 p.m. Posters explaining the program objectives and plans can be found in the Study Abroad Office, located on the second floor of the BSC.
