American Pathway Program (APP)

 

The American Pathway Program (APP) is designed for students who are interested in obtaining a bachelor’s degree in the United States. APP students spend one to two years taking transferable courses at The Beijing Center, earning undergraduate credit that can be transferred to four-year colleges and universities in the United States. Throughout the program, students will have the opportunity to gain developmental, lingual, and critical thinking skills that will allow them to further their education. APP helps students to:
