| Academics | LSE is one of England's premiere institutions of higher education offering programs in the classic Liberal Arts tradition as well as Economics, Law, Management and Political Science. Overseas students choose from 370 courses, designed to fully integrate them with LSE. |
|---|
| Courses | Students are admitted to one of the "departments" at LSE reflecting their major area of interest and will be assigned a tutor in that department. Students must take at least two of their four courses from that department. Once a student has been assigned to a department, it is generally not possible to change departments. Students should consult with their academic advisors concerning course selection. A catalogue of LSE courses is available in the Center for International Programs. Cultures Credit: The following courses have been pre-approved as fulfilling the "cultures" requirement: British Political Ideas (POLS), Public Economics (ECON), Theories and Problems of Nationalism (POLS), Cults, Sects, and New Religions (RELG) and The Law Relating to Civil Liberties in England and Wales (POLS). Please see the Study Abroad Handbook regarding instructions for petitioning for "cultures" credit for other courses. |
|---|
| Credits | Students must enroll in the equivalent of 9 K-Units of credit for the Extended-Term Program. Students may not underload or overload. To receive Kalamazoo credit, courses must be within the liberal arts tradition. In order to be counted as one K-Unit of credit, a course must have 40-45 contact hours. In cases where students must combine courses to achieve the minimum number of contact hours for a unit of credit, both courses must be from the same discipline, e.g. history with history or art with art. Grades from all study abroad courses will appear on the Kalamazoo transcript but are not included in the Kalamazoo grade point average. The transcript will list the title of the course, the appropriate discipline, and a translation of the local grade into the Kalamazoo "A, B, C" grading system. Students must earn the equivalent of a "C" in the local grading system to receive credit for course work completed abroad. Consult the Study Abroad Handbook and the College catalogue for additional information. All course work must be completed and turned in before the end of the academic program or no credit will be given. Attendance at all classes is mandatory. |

| Housing | Students are guaranteed accomodation in LSE or University of London halls of residence. Most of the halls house local, overseas, undergraduate and graduate students and requirire students to prepare their own meals. Tuition with room and board expenses are expected to exceed the comprehensive fee. During holiday breaks students may make arrangements to remain in their university rooms. | |

| Co-Curricular Opportunities | The LSE student union supports a wide range of clubs and societies which students are encouraged to join. |

| Program Fee | $33,969 |
|---|
| Comprehensive fee includes | tuition and fees, food and housing while classes are in session, round-trip international airfare from the designated point of departure and some excursions. Because this is not a Kalamazoo College program, the sponsor provides information on expenses to the CIP. The latest information provided indicates that the total cost of the program is as stated. This figure must be regarded as an estimate of total program charges. Any changes in these charges, whether due to fluctuation in the exchange rate between the US dollar and the foreign currency, or for any other reason are beyond the control of Kalamazoo College. A participant could, therefore pay more than the estimated costs indicated. In no instance will the participant in this program pay less than the fee assessed in Kalamazoo College programs. |

| Not included | books, personal spending money, medical expenses, food or housing during vacation periods or after classes have ended, and independent travel. |
