GUARANTEED UNIVERSITY ADMISSION

By understanding the expectations of our partner universities we have been able to arrange special acceptance agreements. In order to qualify for access to the majority of our partner universities without a TOFEL score, you must have successfully completed the Academic Preparation course at EC Boston.

There are 2 pathways to gaining admission to our partner universities and colleges:

Concurrent Enrolment

This pathway to university is suitable if you have sufficient academic qualifications to attend university, but need to improve your English. You will apply for your I-20 through the university, but begin your studies at EC Boston. Upon successful completion of the partner universities required level of English you will be guaranteed admission.

Conditional Admission

The second option available, if you are academically qualified, is through conditional admission. Partner universities and colleges will send you a letter of acceptance guaranteeing admission upon your successful attainment of their required level of English. If you are conditionally admitted to a partner university or college you will receive your I-20 from EC Boston.

Remember, you can always decide to join a university access path after starting your english course with us at EC Boston.
