Accio student loans!

California State University San Marcos students can earn course credit if they sign up for the "British Culture and Harry Potter" class, described as "a combination of travel, experiential learning and academic investigation."

During your time abroad you will:
- Explore and experience through travel the cultural and historical locations in England and Scotland that inspired the Harry Potter series
- Identify and assess the similarities and differences between the novels and films and the ways in which each drew inspiration from cultural sites in Great Britain
- Develop critical thinking skills about complex social issues relating to inequality, race, and gender within the context of contemporary Great Britain.

So in June the lucky students will have the opportunity to explore sites that inspired the books and films, from Edinburgh—the hometown of author J.K. Rowling—to London, where they will visit King's Cross Station all in the name of academic research.
