Prerequisites
Following are the prerequisites for the full year
LSE partner program:
- Must have completed sophomore year of college prior
to attending program.
- A minimum GPA of 3.3 is required for
acceptance to qualitative courses (anthropology, government,
sociology etc.) and a GPA of 3.5 is required for quantitative
courses (economics, mathematics, statistics etc.).
- Applicants will need to demonstrate that they have
the academic background and aptitude necessary to study
second and third year courses.
Courses
The one-year term at LSE for visiting students,
known as The General Course, is not a separate program of study but
a fully integrated undergraduate year. Each student is assigned to one
of the School's twenty academic departments. General Course students
are expected to pursue at least one course in the department to which
they are assigned. Students can choose to spread their remaining three
courses over a range of different academic subjects or concentrate them
more heavily in just one.
LSE offers courses not only in economics and political science, but
also in a wide range of social science subjects. AU students
have the opportunity to choose from over 300 courses offered
each year given by a range of departments, from Anthropology
to International Relations, from Philosophy to Social Policy. Course
listings and descriptions can be found at the LSE
Web site. Students
should note that the teaching system involves a very strong emphasis
on independent study.
Internships
Students may independently arrange their own
internships based upon personal contacts. Students must
obtain prior approval from their academic advisor to receive major credit
for their internship abroad.
