INTO Oregon State University

This is an undergraduate program at The University Of Alabama At Birmingham leading to a Bachelor’s degree after four years* of study. There are two admission routes, depending on your qualifications and the level of support you need.

• Direct Entry:
  Choose this option if you fully meet the academic and English requirements for direct entry to The University Of Alabama At Birmingham and you feel confident to live and study independently alongside US students from day one.
• International Pathway Entry:
  Choose this option if you don’t quite meet the requirements for direct entry, or you prefer to start your studies in a more supportive international environment. During the first stage of this program, you will study the same classes as direct entry students, but with additional support to improve your subject knowledge and English skills. In addition, you will receive academic advice to help you register for the right classes and adapt quickly to academic life at a US university.

Note: Direct entry and pathway students study the same curriculum and earn the same number of credits, so you will complete your studies in the same amount of time whichever option you choose.

* Students typically earn 12-15 academic credits per semester and require 120 credits
to graduate with a bachelor’s degree from a university in the US. The average time to complete a bachelor’s degree is 4 years.

Direct Entry
Merit scholarships of up to $7,500 per year, depending on high school grades. Must apply by 1 May (Fall admission) or 1 November (Spring admission) to be considered for this scholarship.

International Pathway
Regional scholarships (up to $9,000) for the International Pathway stage, then a progression scholarship ($3,000 max) on progression from the pathway with a minimum GPA of 3.75.
