A cohort of Drake students will study abroad Fall 2025 on the DU England study abroad program with Professor Melisa Klimaszewski, our very own British Victorian studies and literature expert. Students enroll in one or two Drake course(s), as well as courses at Harlaxton College, taught by British and visiting faculty.

Courses taken at Harlaxton can be pre-approved to count toward your major(s), minor(s), concentration, and/or AOIs.

Studying abroad on DU England, students are charged Drake tuition and keep their scholarship package, making your experience abroad comparable in cost to staying right here in Des Moines. In addition, you could earn a study abroad scholarship, as we award over $100,000 every year!

If you are interested in learning more about this program, there are several upcoming information sessions to be held in Olmsted, Room 310. The first information session will be held Friday, Feb. 7, at 10 a.m.

If you have questions or want to set up a study abroad advising appointment, please reach out to studyabroad@drake.edu.
