UCA in the English and Scottish Countryside

Submitted by: Haydyn Hudnall, hhudnall@uca.edu on 11/25/2024

The UCA British Isles 2025 program aims to provide students with a three-week study abroad experience that deepens their understanding of the complex history and culture of England and Scotland. Students will primarily lodge in the countryside of both nations, wherein they will reflect upon two of the deepest, most complex, dyads of human history: faith/reason and rural/urban.

With this in mind, the 2025 program will take students from the Neolithic ruins of Stonehenge to the hallowed halls of Oxford University and contrast the mystical Highlands and Lochs of Scotland (inspirational to myth and legend, but also the site of the Clearances, a pseudo-scientific deforestation of the region and a forced migration of its people in the name of industrial progress), before experiencing the often uneasy merger of faith and reason at the medieval episcopal seat and university of St. Andrews.

Deadline to apply is January 15th!
