Credits:
Participants in the Brockport Westminster Program will normally earn four credit hours for each course successfully completed at the University of Westminster, for a maximum of sixteen credits per semester.
Prior to their departure, participants in the LASP Program at the University of Westminster program will select four courses (with alternate choices) from the University's Study Abroad Module Catalogue. These courses should be chosen with the expectation that two of them will be substituted for a part-time internship after arrival at Westminster. But since we cannot absolutely guarantee such placements, none of these courses should be considered a "throwaway."
After arrival in London LASP participants will be placed in a part time internship arranged for them by the University of Westminster. These internships are traditionally (though not exclusively) in lieu of two courses, and thus are awarded eight credits.
Curriculum:
Participants in the Brockport University of Westminster Program will select (prior to departure) three to four courses with respective alternate choices from the University's Study Abroad Module catalog. Applicants to the School of Communication, Design and Media will also need to submit a portfolio for some courses.
All instruction is by University of Westminster faculty and participants in Brockport's University of Westminster Program are examined in the same manner (and to the same standard) as their British counterparts and classmates. The majority of courses in which they will enroll are examined formally at the end of the semester and in order to be awarded credit, participants must take--and pass--the examination at the end of the study period in question.
