Eligibility

The Maryland-in-London program is open to all students who have a serious interest in learning about British society. Applicants should be open-minded and flexible.

In addition, students must an overall grade point average of at least a 2.75. Students taking courses at London Metropolitan University must maintain a 3.0 GPA in their major.

Students must also demonstrate writing ability, as students will be expected to do a considerable amount of writing in each course. Typically, students meet this requirement by completing an English composition course or another course with similar content.

IMPORTANT: Admissions for the program are made on a rolling basis, and decisions will be given in a timely manner. Early application is advisable. Meeting the minimum GPA requirement alone is insufficient to guarantee admission. All required materials will be considered during the admission process.
