TCU's Center for International Studies: TCU Abroad has redefined its fall and spring semester program in London to provide students a broader collection of courses and opportunities to interact with international students and better align it with TCU programs located in Spain and Italy.  
The TCU in London program will partner with the University of Westminster, which is home to 4,000 international students from 160 countries. In addition to living on the Westminster campus, TCU students can enroll in a wide variety of courses such as the humanities and social sciences, natural sciences, business, computer science and the fine arts. Westminster professors will teach the classes.
"The new vision for TCU in London embraces important academic features of study abroad including TCU students taking course work with other international students and living on a university campus," said Jane Kucko, director of the Center for International Studies.  "The breadth of course offerings opens the door to more students from a variety of disciplines who can study in London."
Internship opportunities in London also will be available through Westminster. In addition, TCU faculty-led programs in London will continue over the summer. Typically, there are six to eight faculty-led programs and roughly 80 to 100 TCU students participating in these programs.
Other national universities partnering with Westminster include Butler, Cornell, Marymount and Skidmore universities and the University of Arizona.  For more information on CIS, contact Jane Kucko, Director or visit www.international.tcu.edu/intro.asp.
