The "Sport and Culture in the Global Marketplace" study abroad program will be delivered during the Summer 2005 Full Summer session (June 6th -August 11th, 2005). The program is intended to provide those advanced undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in international business, popular culture, sport and tourism, with first hand experience in, and a thorough understanding of, the rapidly expanding global sport marketplace. Students are provided a comprehensive orientation to traveling and living overseas, together with an extensive theoretical grounding for such academic study, prior to their departure. This will be the fifth such study abroad program offered by the department in the last five years and the fourth in London.

The two week study abroad component (July 10th - July 23rd, 2005) will be preceded by web delivery of readings, preparatory assignments and online discussion groups. The study abroad program will be based at The University of Surrey, Roehampton, in southwest London, and will include:

(a) formal lectures delivered by the primary and secondary trip leaders as well as prominent guest scholars from European universities;

(b) lectures from leading global sport executives along with daily field visits to multinational sporting enterprises (e.g., F.A. Premier League, Wimbledon, Sky Sports, Coca-Cola, UK Sport, and Lords Cricket Ground) for "behind the scenes" tours;

(c) small group/individual tutorials. Following the conclusion of the London-based program, students will be expected to complete culminating assignments.
