University of Glasgow
The University of Glasgow is one of the oldest and most prestigious institutions of higher education in Britain. Founded in 1451, the University of Glasgow is one of only five medieval universities in the UK. The University has a strong undergraduate program offering degrees in eight Faculties and is one of the major research institutions in Britain. The University is located next to a large park and beside the city's art gallery and museum in the West End.

Students at the University of Glasgow may participate in a wide variety of extracurricular activities, including over 40 different sports clubs and two Student Unions. University students also have access to the University Library and Computing facilities. 

The Resident Director in the Office for International Programmes at the University of Glasgow assists overseas students with practical aspects of living and studying at Glasgow.

Academic Program
The University of Glasgow offers PC students an opportunity to pursue a year or a semester of study in the areas of the humanities, divinity, engineering, law, financial studies, science and the social sciences. Courses are offered as formal lectures supplemented by group tutorials, where discussion and student participation are encouraged. Students will attend classes, submit papers, and take final examinations along with the Scottish students.

Students select three or four classes with a total number of Scottish credits that is equivalent to 30 US credits for the year (or 15 credits for a semester). Students will have an opportunity to discuss course selection in detail with Academic Advisors and faculty members in the appropriate departments at the University. Students often make final registration choices once they have arrived in Glasgow. There is a two week period after the beginning of the term in which to change classes.

The academic year is divided into three terms:
Junior Year Abroad: October to June (Terms 1, 2, 3)
Fall Semester: Sept. to Dec. (Term 1 and an additional 3 credit course)
Spring Semester: January to June (Terms 2 and 3)

Eligibility
For this program, students must have earned a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better. Assessment of the student's ability to produce the appropriate scholarly work in the courses and a capacity for independent, self-directed study are important aspects of the application process for this program.
