In addition, you鈥檒l have the opportunity to learn and grow while surrounded by a small, supportive community of Hope faculty and peers.

ACADEMIC CREDIT

Enroll for either a college senior seminar (IDS 492), or business/economics elective course (BUS/ECON 358).

• BUS/ECON 358 (Management in the British Economy) will focus on

  differences in how Christian faith, working life, management and business practices, and the economy function across the two countries. The primary aim of the course is to provide you with a framework to understand and successfully navigate cross-cultural differences not only between the US and UK, but between any two countries; with the expectation that this will serve you well as your career progresses at home or abroad.

• IDS 492 (Senior Seminar) will invite you to grapple with moral questions about

鈥擝rendan VerLee, London May Term 2023

鈥淕oing to London was my first time out of the country. When I signed up, I had a lot of stereotypes and assumptions about not only London, but also everywhere else outside of the US. I ended up being wrong about almost all of them, and it was a healthy adjustment. My advice: Do it! Take chances 鈥� life is about learning about this beautiful world and all the incredible people in it, and this trip was the perfect first stepping stone in that lesson.鈥�

鈥淚t was a privilege to travel with classmates and professors and learn in an environment that is drastically different from the classroom we are used to.
