DESCRIPTION

A Pathway Program, as defined by the U.S. Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) is, “A postsecondary program of study combining credit-bearing and developmental ESL coursework to prepare a student who is unable to meet the English proficiency standards for admission.” IAU’s Undergraduate Pathway and Graduate Pathway program combines English as a Second Language (ESL), college preparatory, and academic course work, which offers international students a path into degree programs at IAU. These programs typically last one academic year, depending on English placement level. Students who complete the Undergraduate Pathway or Graduate Pathway program are able to transition into the appropriate level degree program.
