COURSES OF STUDY
COOPERATIVE PROGRAMS
PROGRAMS OF THE ASSOCIATED COLLEGES OF THE SOUTH
The Associated Colleges of the South, the consortium of nationally-
ranked liberal arts institutions of which Birmingham-Southern is a
member, provides special cooperative programs for students and faculty.
Two programs of special interest appear below.
British Studies at Oxford
British Studies at Oxford is a summer program in which students spend
six weeks of study for two or three units of credit at Oxford University
in England. Students live and dine in the seventeenth-century buildings
of St. John’s College and attend lectures and seminars covering the arts,
history, literature, and philosophy of a distinguished age of Britain’s past. In
addition, students are given the opportunity to travel throughout England
and Europe. Students, at their option, may have one course count as an
exploration term unit. The second course taken through British Studies
at Oxford that summer will count as a unit credit in a discipline. Special
scholarship assistance is available to Birmingham-Southern College
students participating in this summer program.
Oak Ridge Science Semester
Upperclass majors in biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, and
the social sciences are eligible to apply for study at the Oak Ridge National
Laboratory (ORNL) in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. This fall term project provides
students with the opportunity to engage in research with an ORNL scientist,
earn up to four units of academic credit, receive a stipend and a small
housing allowance, and live in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. For
