Oregon State University 2017-18 | Undergraduate Progression Routes
Understand the Pathway Program Our International Year One Undergraduate Pathway programs combine intensive English language study, academic skills development and academic course work. They are carefully designed programs to help you through the first year of your undergraduate degree program. Joining our Pathway program will not extend the overall length of an undergraduate degree program. In fact, it will guarantee places in required courses, which may shorten the length of your program. Decide if the Program is Right for You The program is ideal for students who: • Want to earn a bachelor’s degree in the US • Desire additional academic, language and cultural support to excel at a US university • May need to improve English language skills • May have a lower GPA than required for direct admission to degree programs
Program Benefits • Guaranteed progression to an OSU undergraduate program upon successful completion of a Pathway program
