college or universityCOllEGES Colleges offer a wide range of post-secondary and

graduate programs and certifications which require varying time commitments. Diploma programs are often 2-3 years long, Postgraduate Certificates are generally 1 year long, and Undergraduate degree programs require 4 years of study.

Colleges tend to have smaller class sizes allowing for more student interaction, hands-on skill building, and individual attention.

Colleges are a good place for students to expand their practical skills in a specific career area such as business, marketing, finance, project management, IT, technology, design, etc.

Colleges can be a good place to begin a university degree. Many colleges offer first and second year coursework for lower cost than universities. Students may then transfer into a university in their second or third year and complete their degree.

Colleges usually focus on preparing students for specific careers and trades; some offer full university undergraduate degree programs or transfer programs at a much lower cost than Universities, but with no difference in education quality.

Choosing whether to attend college or university will depend on your particular career goals, financial considerations, and the type of environment you prefer to learn in. ILSC’s Pathway Advisors can help you determine the best choice for your needs.

UNivErSiTiES Universities are degree-granting educational

institutions, offering Undergraduate (Bachelor’s), and Graduate (Master’s) programs.

Undergraduate degrees normally take 4 years to complete. Graduate degree programs can usually be completed in 1-2 years (after an Undergraduate Degree has been completed).

Universities usually have much larger class sizes, especially in first and second year courses.

University programs are generally academically focused, offering more theoretical learning, and requiring students to study a broad range of topics to complete their degree.

Certain professions require an undergraduate or graduate degree, for example, Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers, and more. Students should consider their specific career goals when choosing whether to undertake a college or university education.

“I was a little overwhelmed when I first arrived in the United States but the advisors at the international students office were very friendly and made me feel welcome, helping me figure out my class schedule and adjust to life in the United States. Studying in this climate, and at Peralta Colleges, has really helped me grow as an individual. I have learned to be independent and to work hard, to be open minded, and to think critically. If you work hard, you will be rewarded for it and I feel well prepared to claim my dream of becoming a medical doctor.”

Being a student at Cañada College is definitely a dream come true for me. Cañada opened a whole new window of opportunity for me not only as a student but also as an individual. This school gave me the chance of pursuing my higher education here in the United States, something that I considered impossible once I finished high school in my homeland of Uruguay. After completing my general education courses at Cañada, I plan on transferring to a four-year university program to study International Relations. I am proud of being a student at Cañada College. All of the faculty and staff have done an amazing job in terms of helping me with my transition as an international student into the American college system.”

“I was attracted to study in the United States because of the high standard of its public community college and university system. By taking an Associate Degree in Apparel Design and Merchandising at Alameda College I was able to save a lot of money by studying at a community college for two years, and then successfully transferred to the university of my choice. When I finish my degree at UC Davis, I want to be a textile developer and work in a company with various nationalities, therefore, my U.S. education is crucial to my career.

“I started at Laney College and transferred to UC Berkeley. I graduated from UC Berkeley with a B.S. in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research (IEOR) and a minor in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS) with honor. I now work for an investment banking firm in San Francisco as a software engineer/web developer. My time at Laney College prepared me not only academically but also culturally for the transition to UC Berkeley. The staff at the Office of International was friendly and very helpful. They were especially valuable in providing assistance to me when I was preparing my application for the off-campus work authorization.”

My name is Valentín Navarro, and I am an international student from Perú. I first came to Santa Barbara to study English when I was nineteen years old. As I was taking classes, I realized that I wanted to extend my stay and I decided to continue my studies here at SBCC. The SBCC campus is beautiful, and the weather in Santa Barbara is just great. My major is Business Administration, and I am currently finishing my General Education requirements. After that, I am planning to transfer to UCSB and to finally get my BA degree in Business. Studying at SBCC has been a good experience. Santa Barbara City College offers everything you need to succeed and to reach your goals. ”

“I chose ILSC’s University Pathway Program to prepare me to get into a Canadian university. I wanted to study in Canada

because the people are so friendly and helpful. The UPath advisors helped me to identify and correct my difficulties in English, and I found this program also really improved my

writing skills, something that is difficult for foreigners because English has its own unique writing structure. Because of the

skills I learned in the University Pathway Program, I feel very prepared to start my studies in Political Science at the

University of Prince Edward Island.”

frequently asked Questions

What does “Seamless Entry” mean? Seamless entry means that no outside language tests are required to enter you chosen partner school. Successful graduates of ILSC’s University Pathway program will be able to enter directly into their chosen partner school once they have completed the UPath program. For some of our US partners, students will take a placement assessment on their first day; however, ALL of our partners offer seamless entry. That’s right, no IELTS or TOEFL needed!

Who is a good University Pathway Program candidate? Any student who has a desire to study at a North American college or university, the willingness to work hard in their classes, and a GPA that meets the application requirements of their chosen partner school is an ideal candidate for the UPath program.

how does the Pathway Program prepare you for college or university? Students will take courses to develop their academic English skills. Students also take University Preparation I and II, which are taught as if they were true university courses. Students will learn note-taking skills, research skills, essay writing and correct citation formats. The UPath program will help you develop a much broader skill set than simply focusing on passing an IELTS or TOEFL test. By the time you start a program at your chosen partner school, you’ll have all the tools you need for success!

What does it cost? There are no additional fees for the University Pathway program, just your regular ILSC course fees.

Do I get a certificate at the end of the program? Yes, you will receive an official ILSC University Pathways Certificate when you complete the program.

how long does it take to get an acceptance letter from my college/university of choice? Once we send off your completed application package you can typically expect to receive your conditional acceptance letter within 5-10 business days.

How much money do I have to pay when I first apply to the partner college/university? All partner schools require a non-refundable application fee, usually around $100. Some schools will also require the first semester’s tuition as a deposit. Ask your counsellor or the UPath team to find out!

how do i know that this program really works?Our University Pathway Program has been growing steadily since it began several years ago. Each year we send dozens of students to their college or university of choice and our success rate is very high!

how do i apply? Speak to your agent or ILSC counsellor and sign up as a “University Pathway Student”. Make sure to apply for your chosen partner school when you apply to ILSC. To apply for your chosen partner school you will need: the partner school application form, a translated and notarized diploma and/or transcripts of senior secondary school and/or any other post-secondary education you have completed, and a copy of your passport. Some schools and programs may require additional documents. Your agent or an ILSC counsellor will help you complete all of the necessary paperwork to apply for the UPath program, and a partner college or university of your choice.

“My heart is full of gratitude for my ILSC teachers, friends, counsellor and the University Pathway Director because they all supported me like my family. I learned from them how important it is to challenge myself. They supported my every effort in getting accepted into college in Canada. ILSC was absolutely my starting point, and one I’ll never forget.”
