We are excited to announce that Oxford International has partnered with Interlearn Global to offer the International Year One Program, supporting students with a pathway to Syracuse University. This unique blended learning program is a highly sought-after pathway for international students, providing unparalleled access to a prestigious and highly ranked university in the U.S. We have simplified the application process; to offer a practical, supportive educational experience so students can embark on a streamlined path toward achieving their academic goals.
The International Year One program is delivered through a hybrid approach with students studying both face-to-face and online. During the first two terms students will start their pathway at the Oxford International NYC English School in the heart of Manhattan, studying English for Academic Purposes (EAP). At the same time students will study focused credit-bearing courses online by the esteemed faculty of Syracuse University.
Progressing to the third term students will relocate to Syracuse University campus, just over 2 hours from Niagara Falls in upstate New York, to finish their pathway study. During their time on campus students are supported both socially and academically in their transition to university campus life.
For students who enter the program with lower levels of English proficiency, Oxford International provides Pre-sessional English (PSE) classes. These classes are designed specifically to enhance language comprehension and develop essential academic skills and ensure that students are well-prepared for undergraduate level coursework. Successfully completing the pre-sessional term(s) students can then progress into the International Year One Pathway Program without the need for any additional English testing.
“We are proud to introduce the innovative International Year One Program, a comprehensive pathway designed to equip students with the academic foundation, skills, and support necessary for success in a rigorous university environment. Through personalized guidance, cultural orientation, and language assistance, this program ensures a seamless transition to life at a world-class American university. We are excited to welcome more international students to the U.S. and support their journey toward academic and professional success.”
