Study Abroad

Since 1990 the English Department has sponsored a Spring Semester Study Abroad program at the University of Sussex in Brighton, England.  The program is limited to a select group of English majors who study with regular Sussex students for two full British terms, earning five Wesleyan credits.  Sussex courses may be counted toward department requirements.  Students pay Wesleyan tuition and receive Wesleyan financial aid.  The University of Sussex is a highly regarded, intellectually stimulating institution situated on a rural campus within easy reach of London, just outside the South Coast city of Brighton.  Wesleyan students live with other Sussex students either on campus or in the town.  Information about the program is distributed to sophomore majors every spring.

 While the Department urges students interested in studying in England to consider Sussex first, it also authorizes study abroad on other British campuses and in other parts of the world.  Students should discuss plans with their advisors as early as possible.
