Curriculum Overview
The American Collegiate program is designed to prepare international students for rigorous academic study and to transfer to a US institution of higher education.
American Collegiate students enroll in both credit bearing and non-credit bearing courses to improve their academic profile, earning approximately 30 general education credits transferable to the second year of an undergraduate degree. Students enroll in elective coursework in the following foundation areas: STEM, Computer Science, Business, Finance, Economics, Social Sciences, and Humanities. The program includes core, major, and elective courses, allowing students to pursue a wide variety of majors after completion of the program.
American Collegiate students may also receive additional developmental English language support, if necessary for successful transfer to competitive US universities. Students will have the opportunity to consult with program advisors throughout their time in the American Collegiate program, as they prepare for transfer to another US university. American Collegiate students are required to complete the Program in consecutive semesters (including summer). Students must comply with full-time enrollment requirements as defined through the International Student and Scholar Services. Course selection and load will be selected in consultation with advising.
