London School of Economics

About the Program

*** Students on this program are exempt from the Internship Requirement. However, this is a full year program that runs for both the fall and spring semesters. ***

Students will enroll in London School of Economics (LSE) through one of two providers: Arcadia. In determining which provider to choose, students may want to look at housing costs, grade conversion scales, program-provided excursions, and other means of support.

LSE

At LSE, a full course load consists of year-long courses that are 4 full units total, equaling 32 U.S. semester credit hours per year. Students who are admitted into the economics department are required to take at least two courses in that department. All other departments at LSE require students to take at least one course in their home department. Students applying to the economics department should already have completed three to four economics courses, including microeconomics and macroeconomics. Students should have also completed two to three math and/or statistic courses. Qualitative departments at LSE require students to have at least a 3.3 GPS while Quantitative departments require a 3.5 GPA.
