Study Abroad - London, England

Summer 2020 London

Travel dates: From July 21^st to July 29^th 2020

The course: GD 2 History of Graphic Design (UC/CSU/ transferable)

Important travel update (March 22nd 2020):

• Here is what I know right now:

  • The class will be offered as an online class for Summer 2020 as planned
  • As for the travel part of the class:
    • Of course, right now, no one is traveling
    • Will travel restrictions be lifted by the end of July?
    • The travel vendor (AIFS), right now, has a deadline of April 22^nd to sign up for the travel portion of the class
    • In my opinion the situation will not resolve itself by then
    • As soon as I know more about the travel I will update the website and email everyone on the “interest” list
