Description

Since 1971, the FSU London Program has offered students from across the nation a fine liberal arts curriculum in a historic seat of Western government, commerce and literature. The London Study Centre is located in a row of 17th century buildings registered on the British National Heritage list. Students live and study in our state-of-the art educational facility in the heart of the Bloomsbury district, one block from the British Museum and minutes from the theatre district, the National Gallery and many more London landmarks.

Eligibility
This program is open to all undergraduate students, but is expected to be of particular interest to Communication Science and Disorders pre-majors and majors.

Housing
Students stay in furnished apartments in the Florida State University London Study Centre or in comparable accommodations within central London.

Highlights

Around the world, those who work with people who have speech and language problems go by different professional names and complete different professional training. Many treatment innovations for people who stutter, have autism, etc. have originated in London and the United Kingdom. Students who complete this program will learn about and observe clinical practices in the wondrous city of London. The Program in Communication Science and Disorders will provide students first-hand knowledge of how this profession is practiced in the United Kingdom. The two courses in the proposed program will include interactions with clinicians from world renowned speech and language clinics in London.

Each course will focus on a part of the person's life span: one on speech and language problems among children and the other on these same problems among adults. There will also be a focus on the professional training and treatment of these speech and language problems in the United States and the United Kingdom. Material discussed in class will be demonstrated during visits to speech and hearing clinics in London. Both courses offered count toward requirements of the Communication Science and Disorders major.
