The Literary London program is expected to run in Summer 2023. 

Fredonia's Literary London program offers six undergraduate or graduate credits through two fantastic courses tailored to the urban streets and idyllic countryside around one of the world's most intriguing cities. Students are immersed in central London for 17 days as they explore the city's literary attractions. Daily excursions bring the course material to life. Besides various urban adventures, students will this year visit Avebury Henge (bigger than Stonehenge!), Parliament's House of Commons, and the Royal Naval Observatory and Planetarium at Greenwich. Most evenings and a couple of days are open for students to plan their own experiences in London and beyond.

Courses may count within the English major or as university Upper-Level courses, for a total of six credit hours.
