It is often said that graduating is the biggest challenge of studying at a U.S. university. While this is not necessarily true, it is important for international students to establish a disciplined academic lifestyle in order to successfully complete their studies.

To begin with, more than English proficiency, academic effort is directly related to the fact that if you don't study you won't graduate.

Successful students study every morning and before they go to bed. They not only prepare well for exams, but also for each class. Good students tend to review material and read a lot. Importantly, successful students actively participate in class and do a lot of independent research for their reports and essays. Keeping in mind that participation and effort are highly evaluated in final grades.

We work with a limited number of students in more than 40 countries. Enrollment for International Doorway programs is open until full. We accept applications throughout the year.
