During the semester in London, students in the Boston-London program take in a broad view of literature, history, and rhetoric–from the industrial revolution right up through the digital revolution. Classes explore art and literature, politics, economies, social change, and rhetorical practices through three classes:\u00a0CGS HU 104<\/a>, CGS SS 104<\/a>, and CGS RH 104<\/a>. For incoming freshmen in the Class of 2022, all of these courses– 14 credits in total–will fulfill the Boston University Hub’s general education requirements.<\/p>\n

Cultural Excursions<\/h4>\n

Cultural excursions to historic sites are part of the experiential learning that makes the program unique. This semester, students visited Westminster Abbey, the London landmark cathedral founded over 1,000 years ago. They wandered the grounds of the Victorian burial ground, Highgate Cemetery– the final resting place of Victorian luminaries and celebrities such as Karl Marx, the novelist George Eliot, the poet Christina Rosetti, and the pop icon George Michael. They took excursions to Bath and Stonehenge, and went on an evening tour of Jack the Ripper’s East End haunts.<\/p>\n
