Kings Pathways to Universities in the USA
We offer a range of solutions to help international students access university study in the USA and succeed in it at undergraduate or graduate level.
For 2013 we have developed three major new partnerships which will allow us to offer students:
- a 4-year degree study plan: the same years it takes an American student to get a degree, so no extra time and fees
- a study plan which includes, next to the attendance of degree course lessons and seminars with American students taught by university academic staff, additional specialist tuition and pastoral support
- an on-campus experience from Day 1
- the flexibility to transfer easily from one university to another after Year 1 or 2.
These three partnerships are:
2+2 at Marymount College
Students spend the first two years at Marymount, Palo Verde, California and on successful completion of Year 2 and depending on grades and subjects studied, they can transfer to a wide range of institutions in California, including Berkeley, UCLA and University of Southern California.
1+3 at Canisius
A first year is spent at Canisius and from Year 2 students can either stay at Canisius or transfer to SUNY Albany or SUNY Geneseo.
