<p>Hi I’m a mechanical engineering major coming in as a freshman for fall 2007.
I was wondering about the MLCs, particularly LHSP (Lloyd Hall Scholars Program). As far as i can see, I AM able to join this MLC right?</p>
<p>Anyway, I’ve been looking all over for more info about these MLCs and cant seem to find a clear answer. All they say is that it provides a small liberal arts experience with professors and classes.
-Are these classes mandatory?
-How many classes do you have to take?
-How long are these classes, and on what days usually?
-Do you do homework too?
-How much homework?
-LHSP focuses on writing and the arts; I love the arts, but can i choose not to take the writing portion of the program?
-Can i choose to do some arts, and not other arts?
-Does your schedule form around the program?
-Or does the programs classes form around your schedule?</p>
<p>WHAT ARE MLCS!!!??</p>
<p>SOMEBODY… ANYBODY… help…</p>
<p>anybodyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy</p>
<p>Okay, it’s a broad question, and I’m not an expert, but I’ll do my best since no one else is answering. It’s going to vary by which MLC you are referring to. For example, in Honors you have to take certain lit requirements (usually Great Books) and a certain number of honors courses. The RC requires you to take the accelerated language courses (unless you want a language they don’t offer). I know you mentioned LHSP specifically. Now don’t hit me with a gender stick if I’m wrong, but your screen name (“boie”) might lead one to believe you are male. If so, LHSP is only for females, but since I’m assuming you read enough to know that perhaps the screen name is misleading :-p There is a page on LHSP website that lists the only specific requirements as near as I can tell. It’s at</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.lsa.umich.edu/lhsp/prospective/requirements.html[/url]”>http://www.lsa.umich.edu/lhsp/prospective/requirements.html</a></p>
<p>Other than that, it seems which arts and writing you take part in are optional. As far as classes and schedule, it’ll be just like any other courses. Days, time, length, amount of homework will all vary by course. And it seems you would decide what to take part in each semester based on your own schedule. I don’t get the impression it’s any different than LSA except you get more one on one contact with professors and additional opportunities, just like with Honors, etc.</p>
<p>WIll those classes count towards your Gen Ed Humanities requirements?</p>
<p>And crap…only for girls…great ;( Are there any MLC’s for Lloyd for males? =/</p>
<p>Okay, well never mind. Like I said I’m no expert (at least not on every aspect of the entire Uni :-p) Maybe LHSP can be males too. I read somewhere otherwise, but I can’t see anything on the site that says it’s for women only. And if the course says that it is a (HU) course in the course guide, then yes it counts toward the Humanities Distributions…otherwise no.</p>
<p>ok im glad you corrected yourself because im almost certain LHSP is coed.</p>
<p>but thank you soooo much for being the first to answer… yea ive probably found all the info available online on LHSP by now, i guess i jsut need to know ONE more thing.</p>
<ul>
<li>ARE ENGINEERING STUDENTS EXEMPT FROM TAKING THE WRITING COURSE?</li>
</ul>
<p>Unfortunately I’m not sure on that one, but considering they say that engineering students contact them about that requirement during registration I’m guessing it’s a good possibility. Maybe if you call them up you could get more info about that specific aspect.</p>
<p>I think its given on the site. Im pretty sure everyone has to take the writing course.
MLCs - Michigan Learning Community. </p>
<p>Im pretty sure Llyods Hall Scholars Program is co-ed.</p>
