Education information

High School Diploma Program
The classic high school program (from 10th to 12th grade) in American schools is analogous with the A-level program in England. The educational program allows students to prepare at the highest level for admission to ranked universities in the United States.
University Pathway Program
Pathway is one of the most popular studying programs. The pathway program, implying 1 or 2 semesters of intensive studies at an American college or university, gives the opportunity to enroll in the first or even second course of a US university. In order to participate in the Pathway program, it is required to have:

• 
  School certificate with good grades;
  
• 
  IELTS certificate 5.5 or higher (or 61 - 79 points for TOEFL test).
  

University Transfer Program
This program is an analogue of the British IDP (International Diploma program) which offers foreign prospective students one-year preparation for entering the 2-year Bachelor's degree course. At the same time, this program allows international students to save a whole year, as well as helps them to get accustomed to life in a foreign country. Many colleges and universities in the USA offer this program for international students, and SMAPSE experts are ready to help students to choose the best variant from 100 best universities and colleges in the USA.
International Foundation Program
The American version of the Foundation program differs from the British one mainly by its orientation on language education rather than acquiring complex knowledge on a number of subjects for admission. Foreign students improve academic English skills and prepare for language examinations. List of requirement documents: 

• 
  Home country school certificate;
  
• 
  IELTS - not less than 5.0 (as an alternative it is possible to pass TOEFL with a success of 70-80 points).
  

International Baccalaureate (IB)

Successful completion of the International Baccalaureate program allows one to enroll not only in universities in America, but also in other prestigious educational institutions of the world. The program is designed for foreign students. List of documents for enrollment:

Pre-Masters or Pre-MBA Program
This program is designed for those who would like to study in a Master's degree or higher Doctorate studies course. All that is necessary to take on this program is to present a foreign diploma of higher education. Foreign students can apply for these courses after receiving a Bachelor's degree in any foreign university. 
An obligatory requirement:

• 
  Bachelor's degree;
