International Year One
A First Year Degree Program For International Students
The International Year One is a first year degree program, tailored specifically to the needs of international students.
It is offered by many top universities in the USA, particularly those with a strong tradition of welcoming overseas students.
English requirements are flexible and most overseas school qualifications are recognised.
And you don't need SAT/ACT scores to apply!
During the course, you will study a first year curriculum, but with extra support to develop
your English language and study skills to a high standard. You will also receive dedicated academic support
to help you adapt to US teaching methods. Studying alongside other international students who are new
to the US education system will help you to settle in quickly and build confidence as you progress through the program.
Courses start throughout the year and usually last from 2 to 4 semesters, depending on your English level.
On successful completion, you can progress directly to the second year, or transfer your credits to another college or
university in the USA.
