Pathway ProgramsUnderstand the Pathway ProgramOur 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 YouThe 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

Length of Pathway Programs4-Term PathwayOur new 4-term Pathway program is

designed specially for international students

who want to start earning credits toward

their bachelor's degree at a US university

while improving their English skills.

Available in fall, winter and summer terms

excellent balance of academic and English

language preparation. This is ideal for most

students and has start dates available in

fall, winter and spring terms (depending on

your major).

1-Term or 2-Term PathwayThis accelerated option is designed for

students who have good academic grades

and need little or no English preparation.

Students can begin this program during the

fall, winter and spring terms.

Sample Course ScheduleThe chart below is a sample course schedule for

the first term of the 4-Term Pathway program.

Additional course samples for subsequent

terms are on the following pages. The courses

a top US university. You will experience life

on a classic American campus while taking

a variety of credit-bearing classes. You will

have access to all the support services

available at the university, including

exceptional one-on-one tutoring and

social and cultural trips. Intensive English

language courses are available but are not a

Transferring CoursesCourses taken are transferable in

accordance with articulation policies of

your home university. All courses taken

as part of the Visiting International

Student Program are credit-bearing (except

home university to ensure courses taken

through VISP are transferable to your

degree.

School SpiritYou will find that OSU is a relaxing place.

Students dress casually wearing orange and

black to show school spirit and pride in the

university.

Campus ActivitiesIt’s important for international students to

share their cultures, learn about US cultures

and participate in a wide variety of events.

The more you get involved, the more you

will improve your English and make friends.

You can participate in more than 300

student clubs.

Getting AroundIt’s easy to navigate Corvallis. Most OSU

students don’t own a car because it isn’t

necessary; everything is within easy walking

or biking distance. Owning a bicycle is

inexpensive, it keeps you active and you

will never have to worry about parking. You

also can ride the bus for free anywhere in

Corvallis. Life is very convenient here, so you

can focus on your studies.

What to Do for FunOSU students love to attend sporting

events like football games with their

friends. There are always concerts, lectures

and performances on campus and in the

community. International students often

go out to eat together at local restaurants,

or hang out with friends at their residence

hall or apartment. There are sidewalk cafes,

rooftop restaurants, parks, bike paths, coffee

shops, farmer’s markets and lots to explore.

ShoppingYou can explore the city of Portland, or shop

all day at the outlet mall, which has famous

brands at lower prices. There is no sales tax

in Oregon, so even other Americans come

here to shop.

Being an OSU StudentOregon State University is a friendly, safe and welcoming community. OSU students study hard but also are involved in lots of activities around campus.
