Graduate Pathway Programs

INTO SLU Graduate Pathway programs prepare students to enter a graduate degree program at Saint Louis University. These programs allow students to earn credits toward a SLU degree while building their English proficiency.

Saint Louis University offers two types of graduate pathway programs. Entry to each type of program is based on your English proficiency:

  • An accelerated pathway is a one-semester program.
  • A standard pathway is a two-semester program. 

Upon successfully completing a pathway and meeting progression requirements, students may enter the next semester of graduate study at Saint Louis University. This transition from a pathway to a SLU degree program is called matriculation.
