Internships
A limited number of part-time and full-time internships are available in conjunction with the study abroad experience. Opportunities include working with members of Parliament, advertising and promotional companies, finance and marketing houses, museums, health agencies and schools. Recent students have interned with a member of Prime Minister Blair's Cabinet and the Conservative Party Central Office as well as with the British retailer Marks & Spencers. Students should indicate interest in an internship on their application and be aware that a separate review process and set of fees are associated with the internship program after the student is accepted into the study abroad component.
Cost
Students pay, directly to Millersville, MU tuition (in-state or out-of-state dependingon residency) and mandatory MU fees, LMU program charge and accomodation fee, as well as a non-refundable, non-transferable $400 program participation fee directly to Millersville. The program participation fee is due approximately one month after program acceptance.
Prices are approximate and may be lower or higher on final billing statement, due to currency fluctuations and other factors beyond our control. The LMU program charge includes orientation, transfer from Heathrow airport to central London (students are responsible for their return to the airport at the conclusion of the program), a tour of London and an evening at a West End Theater, cultural activities, overseas tuition differential and program administration costs.

Scholarships have individual regulations, and students should contact their home institution's Financial Aid Office to determine if their scholarship is transferable.

Each of the main sites also has a bar serving competitively priced food and drink. In addition, the city of London is filled with thousands of restaurants, supermarkets, and shops to meet every taste.
Eligibility
Most students who study abroad have traditionally been juniors. Participants in the Capital Semester in London Program can study abroad any time after they have completed their first 24 credits. To participate, Millersville University requires a 2.0 G.P.A. or higher, both at the time of application and for all coursework taken prior to departure. Students also must consult their home institution's study abroad eligibility criteria to determine if they are eligible. A limited number of participants are accepted for this program each year and selection is competitive. Students must complete the Capital Semester in London Program application package. The Undergraduate Program Coordinator will interview students, and a selection will be made after all interviews are completed.
Transfer of Credit
Students will receive Millersville University credit for coursework completed at London Metropolitan University. It is the student's responsibility to follow the procedures and policies of his/her home institution with regard to transfer credit and appropriateness of course choices for his/her academic program. After the study abroad program is completed and a transcript is sent to Millersville University, the Registrar will award credit subject to normal Millersville University rules and requirements. Please note that all Millersville University academic policies (impact on G.P.A., incompletes, etc.) directly apply, as if you were actually studying at Millersville.
