Curriculum Philosophy
The US university environment is unique in its framework and the expectations it holds of its students. During the Global Pathways program, we will help you become familiar with the structure and help you meet the requirements to matriculate onto your degree. You will study both English language skills as well as academic courses, helping you excel from the very beginning. By the end of your time with Global Pathways, you in-classroom exposure will have prepared you to go on and complete your bachelor's or master's program at 91视频.
-
Global Pathways courses which award academic credits will automatically transfer into 91视频 upon completion of the program and will count toward degree completion. Graduates generally earn three (3) academic credits in their last semester of Global Pathways; undergraduates earn 16-32 academic credits throughout the program, depending on (1) the number of semesters they were admitted for and (2) whether they requested additional courses. All students also must pass all courses with a B- grade or better.
