The two-week study abroad component is preceded by web delivery of readings and online discussion groups. Students should expect to participate in structured discussions and lectures during their time in London.

In particular, the program includes:

(a) Formal lectures delivered by the trip leaders as well as prominent guest scholars from European universities;

(b) Presentations from leading global sport executives along with daily field visits to leading multinational sporting enterprises. For 2008 these will include:

• The F.A. Premier League
• All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club 
• Sky Sports
• Arsenal FC
• UK Sport
• Lords Cricket Ground

(c) Small group/individual tutorials.

As part of the Study Abroad Experience, students will complete an electronic diary that synthesizes reading material with on-site experiences.
