Programs- Summer 2008

UWM and The Helen Bader School of Social Welfare are coordinating the Bristol International Credit Earning Programme (BICEP) in Comparative Public Policy, a 2-week study abroad course. UWM students join. The program consists of a combination of lectures by English faculty from the University of Bristol and professionals in social work and criminal justice, site visits, and assignment to a UK research advisor for individual academic assistance. Students may study in the areas of child welfare, criminal justice, health policy, mental health and family violence. The course examines comparative US and UK approaches to child protection, juvenile justice, and social services in both theory and practice.  Students will analyze and evaluate strategies for preventative and community-based services through interdisciplinary dialogue and a combination of classroom lectures and site visits.  Students will earn 6 undergraduate or graduate credits in Social Work or Criminal Justice.  For additional application instructions and more information, please see the following website: http://www.uwm.edu/SSW/bristol/index.htm
