IU at Oxford Summer Environmental Policy Program

Information Session on Thursday, January 13 at 4:00 pm


Beginning in the summer of 2011, the IU at Oxford program will become an annual, six-week program with an environmental policy focus. Participants will spend six weeks at the University of Oxford, July 3 to August 13:

•  Gaining the skills they need to become future leaders in environmental policy
•  Enjoying lectures and discussions with world-renowned Oxford faculty and other environmental policy experts
•  Learning from the European perspective on the environment through course-related field trips, such as visits to Parliament, United Kingdom environmental agencies, publicly-managed lands, green businesses, a waste and recycling centre, and a nuclear power plant
• Relaxing on a mid-program trip to the West Country, which will include a visit to the ancient city of Bath and an inner circle tour of Stonehenge
• Experiencing life in a well-planned European city

The two courses will be V450/V550 Environmental Regulation Strategies: Comparative Policy Analysis and V450/V550 Climate Change and Global Governance.  This year, we will be providing SPEA Honors and Hutton Honors credit for undergraduate students who enroll in the V550 version of the courses.

 The regular decision deadline will be Tuesday, February 8, 2011 at 4:00 pm.  Applications should be submitted in person or scanned and emailed to Elise Boruvka in SPEA 410.

Students who wish to learn more about the program may visit www.spea.indiana.edu/IUatOxford or our Facebook page.  They may also attend the SPEA International Programs open house on Thursday, January 13 from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm in SPEA 241 and/or the final IU at Oxford information session on Thursday, January 13 from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm in SPEA 167.  Alternatively, students may contact the program's associate director, Stephanie Hayes Richards, at steprich@indiana.edu for additional information.
