Inside Higher Ed gives a wonderfully in-depth look at for-profit Pathway Programs (alternatively called Bridge Programs) for international students who need extra English training before beginning University studies in the United States. In addition to giving a clear overview of these programs and their many iterations, the article (written by Elizabeth Redden) unpacks Britain-based INTO’s recent troubles expanding into the U.S. market.
The article is well worth reading for anyone new or old to the fields of international or English language education.

A.C.E.’s Language Institutes at Seattle Pacific University and Montana State University serve as Bridge programs to their host institutions. [Students who complete our program may gain conditional acceptance to the host university without taking the TOEFL.])
