At KPU, where thought meets action, we support all students in their journey to success. The Pathway to Undergraduate Studies is a unique model that pairs upgrading and undergraduate studies with guided support, offering students an option to also begin work toward their intended undergraduate program in the Faculty of their choosing. And, as always, the option to start out in the Faculty of ACA remains – it’s all about choices, and we want KPU students to have an option that fits them best.
Not only does the Pathway bring clarity to the admission process, it also helps to create parity in the options we provide to native and non-native English upgraders. If you are still improving your English language skills and want to pursue KPU Undergraduate Studies, you’ll be following these steps as you continue to upgrade and gradually pursue full-time studies in your area of interest. With the help of an experienced advisor, we’ll guide you through the KPU Pathway so you can transition to undergraduate studies as soon as you are ready. Contact an advisor today to learn more.
