Conrad Studies Law in the United Kingdom

2016 Jul 18

Courtney Conrad was one of 18 students from Susquehanna University who recently toured London, Cambridge, St. Andrews and Edinburgh, as part of the university's Global Opportunities (GO) program. Through the trip, she studied the inner workings of the British legal system.

In collaboration with British professors and law enforcement officials, participating students learned about local and national law enforcement practices and how they affect the cultures that call the United Kingdom home. They examined British law in the context of the European Union and were also able to make comparisons to the United States.

As a cross-cultural requirement, study away is an integral part of a Susquehanna education. All students spend at least two weeks off campus, immersed in a culture different from their own, in the U.S. or abroad. Students reflect upon their experiences when they return, guided by faculty members and coursework that promotes discovery and personal growth. Susquehanna students can choose from study-away programs, ranging from a few weeks to a full semester, in Africa, Asia, Australia, South America, Europe, Puerto Rico and Hawaii, among other options.
