ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
The Department of Government offers a foreign study program in London in cooperation with the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in England.
Two-course credits are based on regularly scheduled courses at LSE. These courses focus on international relations or comparative politics and are graded by members of the LSE faculty. The third-course credit is a seminar taught by the resident Dartmouth faculty director. The topic is typically within the fields of comparative politics, international relations, or political theory.
Enrollment Information
About 18 students are selected for the program. Committed students will also submit an application to the London School of Economics (LSE).

Financing Your Program
Tuition and Fees
The fees charged by the College for a Dartmouth-sponsored off-campus term of study include regular tuition charges for a term at Dartmouth, service fees, as well as the specific costs established for each off-campus study locale. In many programs, the room and board costs tend to be higher than for a term in Hanover. You can view a budget sheet for each program by clicking on the appropriate term under "Financing Your Program". The cost of transportation to and from the site is the responsibility of the student.
Financial Aid
In order that all qualified Dartmouth undergraduate students may have the opportunity to take part in off-campus programs, the College endeavors to adjust its normal financial aid awards for students already receiving aid. Tuition and expected family contribution for Dartmouth's off-campus programs are the same as for an on-campus term.
Students are responsible for purchasing their own plane tickets and, in many cases, meals. Often, families find that they owe less for billable items for study away terms but will instead use more of their expected family contribution towards indirect costs such as the flight and meals. For help sorting out who pays what and how, contacting the Financial Aid office is often advisable.
