What is the Pathway Program?
Pathway programs are specialized academic bridge courses offered by language schools. These programs are designed in official partnership with universities and colleges, providing a seamless transition for students aiming to pursue higher education. While a certain level of language proficiency is required upon admission, successfully completing a Pathway program exempts you from submitting English language test scores when applying to public colleges and other institutions.
