A hallmark of the Grinnell-in-London program is that courses are carefully planned to take regular advantage of London, and occasionally the surrounding region, as a classroom.
The program typically offers a variety of field trips, both in and around London as well as elsewhere in the U.K.
The revised program now includes an embedded travel experience prior to the start of class. This travel experience ties to the core cultural course, where students begin to understand the U.K. culture in context. The group travels to sites outside of London and around the U.K.
In addition to the core cultural course travel, all Grinnell-in-London courses typically include in-class site visits to museums, galleries, and neighborhoods as well as curricular and co-curricular theatre performances and guest speakers.
