The University Pathway Program (UPP), designed for students with a high school diploma, prepares international students for undergraduate studies in the U.S. and serves as a conduit for entrance to the best colleges and universities.  During this transitional period, students participate in intensive academic English language training while taking up to 10 university foundational courses (30 transferable credits) in their field of study. University credit courses are all from partner universities.

The demand for international high school graduates attending colleges and universities in the U.S. is progressively increasing; however, many are not academically prepared.  The UPP program helps students make a smooth transition to U.S. colleges and universities by giving them an opportunity to take credit courses prior to matriculation.

The UPP program prepares students to meet the challenges of undergraduate studies at major universities and to successfully complete the rigorous language requirements for admission, providing an excellent opportunity to demonstrate their academic skills to potential U.S. universities.
