The Missouri London Consortium(MLC), was developed by theparticipating institutions for thebenefit of their respective students.All MLC institutions are fullyaccredited. The participatinginstitutions design their ownacademic program abroad usingtheir own curriculum standards andstyle. All courses have beenstructured so that academic creditsearned by students are part of theregular authorized course offerings.This allows students to make normalprogress towards theirundergraduate degrees whileutilizing foreign resources andcross-cultural experiences. Coursesare taught by a combination ofBritish and American academics.

>CAPA International Education

CAPA, The Centers for AcademicPrograms Abroad, was founded in1972. For over 35 years we havebeen partnering with US institutionsof higher education to build quality,affordable customized/faculty ledprograms.

Our mission has remainedunchanged since 1972: to providelearning abroad opportunitieswhich genuinely educate studentsand visiting faculty about the peopleand culture in which they arelearning in a holistic educationalenvironment.

>Missouri London Program(MLP)

A consortium of Missouri universitieshave successfully operated theMissouri London program since 1982.MLC has joined with MLP to expandand enhance program possibilitiesand opportunities for students andfaculty.

>Location LondonA Roman town, a trade center, city ofpoets, of kings and queens,cathedrals and traditions, London isa capital city of 8 million peopleoriginating from all corners of the

globe. Straddling the River Thames,it covers more square miles ofelegant squares, green parks,museums, monuments, and elegantshopping streets than you couldhope to explore in a lifetime. Overforty live theater companies, fivemajor orchestras, plus several operaand ballet companies make Londontheir home. The scores ofperformances, concerts and recitalsall over the city make London thecultural city of Europe. The BritishMuseum, the Queens Gallery, theTate Gallery and the NationalGallery provide opportunities toview many of the world’s great arttreasures. Over two hundred othermuseums and galleries covering awide variety of subject areas awaitcurious students in London.

>CAPA London CenterThe CAPA London center is in thelively area of Kensington. Centrallylocated near the Gloucester Roadand Earl’s Court tube stops, theCAPA London Center is only stepsaway from pubs, shopping, a super-market, as well as Kensington Palaceand Gardens.

Linens are provided butstudents should bring their owntowels with them from home. Youwill have a shared kitchen availablewithin the building so you can cookyour own meals.

>Meals and PersonalExpenses

All meals are the students’ ownresponsibility. This arrangement keepsfees to a practical level and providesstudents with maximum flexibility fortheir own schedules and personalrequirements. Self-catering privilegesfor meal preparations will be extended to students in theiraccommodation provided theestablished rules for cleanliness, safetyand security are observed.

The British heritage forms an important thread in American daily life.

A period of study in Britain offers an American undergraduate the opportunity

to deepen their appreciation of literature, drama, history, art and to develop

a more thorough understanding of the two sister cultures. Thus, the Missouri

London Consortium, in association with the Missouri London Program and CAPA

International Education, have developed a program for the spring semester in London.
