London Summer Program

Optional Internship Opportunities

Five weeks in London seem too short? Want a longer, more culturally immersive experience? Want the required 9 credit hours of study abroad academic credit in one program? All of these are possible through the Political Science London Program.

The program includes an optional five week internship, immediately following the standard five week program. Any student interested in the possibility of adding an internship to the program should contact Professor Down for further details (idown@utk.edu).
