The course is designed to explore the power and meaning of music in a world-city setting, focusing on the diverse, creative output in London by some of the most influential composers of the past and present.

This is a voice course that involves no singing. We explore the potential of the human voice as a tool of persuasion to be applied to your professional goals. Your voice is the expression of who you are. Field observations will help you determine what effective voice use is and how to choose techniques that will enhance your vocal power.
THEATRE
THAR 170: Theatrical Experience (4 credit hours) taught by Lincoln Clark (read bio)
The exploration of nature and function of theater as art form through exploration of performer/space/audience interrelationship. Attendance and discussion of selected plays in London at the National Theatre and other top West End theatres are a core part of this course.

ART

Introduction to perceiving and understanding meanings and organizational systems in traditional and contemporary visual arts in context of their social and cultural backgrounds.
ART STUDIO COURSES

Exceptions are occasionally made, but you MUST meet with your studio professor before signing up for courses to get his permission to take two (2) studio classes.

INDEPENDENT STUDY COURSES IN YOUR MAJOR AREA
(1-5 credit hours possible) Available to students outside and inside the College of Fine Arts
Each year at least half the students participating are typically from majors outside the College of Fine Arts. Some of these students sign up for an independent study project with a professor in their own major before we leave for Britain. This usually means you must do much work independently each day you are in Britain, and then complete the project after returning to Athens. If interested, begin by visiting a favorite professor and asking her or him if this is possible. In the past, majors in Education, Biology, Journalism, Theatre, Film, Dance, and other areas have pursued fascinating projects.
Credit Hour requirements for all participating students
You must take a minimum of 14 credit hours (the maximum is 20 credit hours for undergrads and 18 credit hours for grads). This generally equates to 4 classes, or 3 classes and independent study credit. Keep in mind that many of you receiving scholarships must take a minimum of 15-16 credit hours.
