Undergraduate Pathway Programs

Undergraduate Pathways prepare students to enter an undergraduate degree program at Saint Louis University. These programs allow SLU students to begin earning credits toward a degree while building their English proficiency.

Saint Louis University offers three types of Undergraduate Pathways. 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.
  • A comprehensive pathway is a three-semester program.

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