semester at a British university, usually starting in January, at
the regular Blackburn costs. Participation is open to all
students from any academic department, with emphasis on those
applying during their junior year.

Semester in Mexico Program
Students who qualify for acceptance enroll during the fall semester
at a Mexican university (currently the Centro Bilingue in
Cuernavaca). The cost is kept as near as possible to the normal
semester charges at Blackburn. The program is designed for students
in all academic departments and may be used to fulfill the language
requirement; the program is especially important for all
Spanish majors. Participation is open to students who are not on
academic, disciplinary, or Work Program probation. Also,
students must make a commitment to return to campus the following
semester, except in the case of second semester seniors.
