Wisdom from the Wiki

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the first known usage of ‘England’ referring to the southern part of the island of Great Britain was in 897, with the modern spelling first used in 1538. The word ‘England’ is often used colloquially — and incorrectly — to refer to Great Britain or the United Kingdom as a whole. There are many instances of this usage in history, where references to England are actually intended to include Scotland and Wales as well. The term is widely used; the usage is problematic and can cause offence. MORE

UM AFFILIATE PROGRAMS IN ENGLAND

The University of Mississippi has approved affiliate programs in which students may participate. These programs allow students to study at sites which may not be available through exchanges. Some also offer unique programs that are tailored to particular academic or career interests. Ole Miss students who study on approved programs remain enrolled as University of Mississippi students while abroad and receive UM credit. They are billed through their University of Mississippi Bursar Account, though the program price is not set at the cost of UM tuition. The cost of an affiliate program usually runs between $11,000 and $16,000 for a semester. Federal and state aid, as well as some University of Mississippi scholarships, can help defray this cost.

Through our short-term programs you can spend summer or winter abroad. We offer programs at long as 6 weeks and as short as 2. You can earn 3, 6, or 9 hours in many business, liberal arts, and applied sciences courses.
