Drake is excited to announce DU England: Harlaxton as our second cohort-model semester study abroad program. The program will be offered each fall, starting Fall 2023, with Professor of Psychology Maria Clapham as the inaugural Drake Faculty-in-Residence teaching on the program.
Harlaxton College is one of the most unique study abroad locations in the UK based at a Victorian Manor and has been operating for over 50 years. Set in 300 acres of beautiful countryside in the heart of England, Harlaxton allows our student cohort to enjoy the British Midlands with the ability to be in London in about an hour. The Drake cohort-model program will include the Harlaxton semester experience, with students taking classes taught by British and visiting faculty members, as well as additional specialized activities and excursions exclusive to Drake courses.
Campus visit from Harlaxton representative on Feb. 20 & 21
A representative for Harlaxton College, Jordan Hall, will be visiting Drake University on Monday, Feb. 20, and Tuesday, Feb. 21. She is available morning through the evening. If you are interested in learning more about Harlaxton, we would love to set up a meeting with you and Jordan to get more in-depth information on this exciting new program. We can schedule:
- Classroom presentations where Jordan can visit your classes to speak to students for 5-10 minutes about the program.
- A meeting to learn more about the program so you are able to advise students on this Drake experience abroad. This can be one-on-one or with others in your department.
- A meeting to learn more about teaching on the Harlaxton program. We will have a Drake Faculty-in-Residence position available every fall semester.
In addition, you are invited to attend a Faculty-In-Residence information session on Monday, Feb. 20, at 4 p.m. in Olmsted TMR132 to learn about teaching at Harlaxton.
