Traveling Through The Decades
1980’s Where it all started On September 10, 1982, a group of likeminded and committed individuals agreed to establish the Cooperative Center for Study in Britain. Four decades later, we remain committed to the ideals on which this organization was founded. While the names have changed, the goal of creating study abroad programs that are accessible to all students and faculty who seek global learning opportunities remains our guiding principle. In this year, 2022, the Cooperative Center for Study Abroad celebrates forty years, countless courses, hundreds of credit hours, and multitudes of airline tickets. Join us in recognizing those who set this in motion, those who kept it going, and those who will continue the traditions.
In 1982, in an effort to address a common desire to share resources
and services throughout the state of Kentucky, a group of faculty and
administrators from Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State
University, Murray State University, Northern Kentucky University and
Western Kentucky University met to cooperatively plan, administer and
teach low cost, quality and academically sound study abroad programs
in Great Britain. In September of 1982, the Cooperative Center for Study
in Britain (CCSB) was established.
1990’s MEMBER expansion
beyond KENTUCKY
The consortium’s first offerings--one, a travel program
to various parts of England and Scotland and the other,
a multi-week program based at Queen Elizabeth Hall in
London--were made available to students in the summer of 1983. Initially
headquartered at Western Kentucky University, CCSB moved to Northern
Kentucky University in 1989. In September 1996, as a reflection of the successful
expansion of its programs to destinations beyond Great Britain, including
Australia and Ireland, CCSB changed its name to CCSA, the Cooperative Center
for Study Abroad.
By the mid 1990’s, membership in the consortium had grown
to over twenty member schools, including both private and
public institutions, and while a core constituency of schools
continues to be located in the state
of Kentucky, the consortium today
includes members from nine states.
2000’s new perspectives The start of the new millennium saw programs offered in a variety of destinations for which English is an official and/or historic language, including Belize, Canada, Ghana, Hong Kong, India, Jamaica, New Zealand and South Africa, as well as, of course, its original sites in the British Isles. The intervening years also saw the debut of a variety of CCSA-sponsored internship and semester options, such as an 8-week internship in Dublin, and direct enrollment partnerships with the University of East Anglia and with Manchester University. An important constant throughout the expansion of both its membership and destinations continues to be the offering of programs that place academic soundness, good value for money and participant safety at the center of all its activities.
2010’s to now
ADVENTURING WORLDWIDE
Today, CCSA offers programs on five continents, sending at least five hundred
students and faculty abroad each year. Course offerings have also grown
extensively to include subjects as different as marine biology and fashion
design, watercolor painting and nursing, in addition to regular offerings in
theatre, business, psychology, english, history, and political science. As CCSA
enters into its fifth decade, the consortium looks forward to expanding its
membership, as well as increasing the diversity of its program offerings, while
maintaining the quality of its signature programs in the United Kingdom. As of
2014, CCSA resides at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

1CCSA COURSE FORMAT
4 to 6 Know Before You Go
weeks
before Faculty-Guided Activities – Faculty and students engage in discussions/
activities with each other and with people who live in their destination. Students
departure explore their local setting to better understand “where” they are in relation to their
course material and their own experience. An example is a theatre class in which
students see a set of shows in their local area, interviewing actors, designers, critics,
theatre owners, and/or promoters. The students report (guided by faculty rubric) on
what they’ve learned about their discipline and career opportunities.
Engagement Activities – Students explore their local setting to better under-
stand “where” they are in relation to their course material and their own experience.
Examples of potential activities with on-site counterparts:
• Virtual tours offered by facilities
• Virtual scavenger hunt
• Zoom with professionals, academics, authors, experts who are on-site (where they
may also be limited in what they can do)
• Interviews conducted locally and with people in the destination – people in the
discipline or student counterpart
• Include career preparedness through self-analysis and virtual connections
14 days On-Site Portion
The on-site portion focuses on experiential learning in which students meet and work
with people living and working in the program location.
3 to 4 Bring it Home
weeks Students re-explore their local setting to connect course material and their new
experiences (while on-site). Students analyze and report (syllabus-specific) on what
after they’ve learned about their discipline and career opportunities along with differences

This course delves into the ancient societies of
Britain and Ireland, from the megalithic past
through the Celts, and explores how their traditions
survived invasions to form the foundation for 19th
and early 20th century folk life. By visiting ancient
sites, such as England’s Stonehenge, Avebury,
and West Kennet Long Barrow, and Ireland’s Bru
Na Boinne, as well as London’s British Museum
and Dublin’s National Museum, students will
gain firsthand experience of the ancient places
and things that many know only from books and
whose traditions were the foundations of life and
culture in the British Isles.

“As someone who has traveled and
lived in another country, reading

This course explores all business aspects of the
brewing, distilling, and wine-making markets in
the United Kingdom. Beginning in London (home
to English Dry Gin) and ending in Dublin (home to
many major Irish Whisky brands), the class examines
the many factors that affect the supply chain and
business decision-making in the alcoholic beverage
industry, including the environmental, political,
regulatory, and economic aspects impacting this
industry now. Visits are planned to distilleries and
breweries, as well as suppliers and distributors, from
which students will gain a comparative perspective
on how the American and British adult beverage
industries manage similar issues and challenges.
Many locations included in the course offer tastings
that are voluntary.

“This class will utilize my International Business
course experience, pair it with my background
in Finance/Accounting/Teaching, and add in an
industry that I am always looking to find out more
about! London is the hub for international finance,
one of the most diverse cultures in the world, and
home to some of the world’s most famous dry
gins. Dublin is the ‘official’ headquarters for many
US-based companies, providing a second opinion
on European behaviors and business practices,
and is home to much of Ireland’s biggest names
in beer and Irish Whisky.”

Philosophy
They did what?! Science & Ethics in the
UK & Ireland (U)
Science and medicine are driving forces advancing so-
ciety in hopeful ways. But they also raise fears that good
discoveries can sometimes be abused. In this class we
will explore the darker side of science and consider the
ethical dilemmas that confront scientists, physicians,
and society as science and medicine have evolved. Sites
where we will explore these issues include Fleming’s
Lab at St. Mary’s Hospital London (drug discovery and
testing), the Freud Museum in London (interpretive vs.
empirical science), St. James’s Gate Brewery in Dublin
(use of statistics), and Trinity College in Dublin (current
ethical standards and practices).
With this course being a chemistry elective that many
universities and colleges will count towards a minor, it is
very appealing to those pursuing a Chemistry minor.

ence makes the perfect location to discuss and debate
ethics in science.” Dr. Robert Shelton

experiences in London include Parliament, Churchill War
Rooms and Imperial War and Transport museums and in
Dublin include Jameson Distillery, Kilmainham Gaol, Christ
Church Cathedral, Trinity College, Croke Park Stadium
and the Guinness Storehouse. These sites provide a great
lens for viewing how risk has been faced, understood
and acted upon, each providing vivid and real insights
to risk management practices both past and present.
