London School of Economics
The London School of Economics (LSE) is a graduate and undergraduate school of economics and political science. Located, as its name suggests, in London, UK, it is a constituent part of the University of London. The school is considered prestigious outside the UK, but not so prestigious within it, possibly because of its reputation for churning out both investment bankers and socialist economists.
Columbia has a multitude of different exchange programs with the school, most of which are somewhat murky and unknown to the majority of students. One is a joint MA in international history that it recently negotiated offering with the History Department.
LSE has also become a popular place for Columbia grads heading for business or government to pick up a masters.
