Study Abroad programs in England:

The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)

Clark participants in the LSE program must have a minimum GPA of 3.3 [a minimum of 3.5 if a student wants to study quantitative subjects (e.g. economics, accounting/finance, mathematics)] at the time of application.  Students  must register for the full academic year, which runs from October to June. As a Clark student at the LSE, you are treated as a full-time student and are completely integrated into the student body. At the beginning of the academic year, all study abroad students (students registered in the General Course) are assigned to personal tutors, who help them choose their courses and who subsequently see them at regular intervals throughout the year.

As a Clark student, you may take almost all courses available to regular LSE students. You may use your year to specialize in one particular subject, taking the more advanced courses in your field, or you may take the opportunity to sample a wide range of subjects. A General Course student is expected to take four courses per year, and at least two of these must be in the student's chosen major area of study. The remaining two courses may be taken in any subject.

Please keep in mind the extensive range of disciplines reflected in the LSE's academic curriculum. For example, Clark students may take courses in: accounting and finance, anthropology, computer science, economics, economic history, geography, government, international relations, industrial relations, language studies, law, mathematics, philosophy, social psychology, social administration, sociology, population studies, and statistics. LSE has an excellent reputation in: economics, social history, anthropology, social policy, history, law, and politics.

LSE accommodations are guaranteed for Clark students who meet the LSE housing deadline.
