Semester Program

Through an affiliation with Regent’s University in Regent’s Park, London, juniors and seniors can make normal progress toward Drury degrees while living in London, one of the world’s richest educational and cultural centers. This program allows Drury students to live and study with students from other American colleges, from Britain and Europe, and from other parts of the world. This program consists of one semester spent at Regent’s University carrying a full load of courses. Regent’s offers courses in most disciplines, many of which satisfy general education requirements.

Program requirements: Students are advised to apply for the program during their freshman year, since we are limited to 38 students in any given year. GPA requirement is 3.0. All participants will be expected to attend mandatory orientation sessions the semester before travel.


The Campus:

Regents University is a traditional quadrangle college under one roof: dorms, commons, classrooms, library, exercise room, recreation room, and pub. The student service facilities are excellent and the faculty and staff are extremely helpful. The college is set in Regents Park, one of London’s most spectacular Royal Parks, which offers sports, recreation, running trails, tennis courts, flower gardens and the London Zoo. Close to the Baker Street Underground for transportation, Regents is also within walking distance of the theatre district and major shopping areas in London.

Accommodations:

Drury’s students stay in triple dorm rooms at Regents. There will be additional fees at Regents for some courses which require theatre tickets, admission fees, or special travel. London is an expensive place to live, particularly to eat out, go to movies, etc., but there are many free events one can attend such as concerts, museums, and lectures. Matinees and student tickets can reduce the cost of attending the theatre and other events. A nonrefundable $400.00 deposit, which is applied to your program costs, is required the year before participation to guarantee your place in the program.
