WHAT IS IT?
International Academic Pathway, Starting from Your Local School
We're not talking about extracurricular courses here. This is the coursework of CAS's International Studies Program (ISP), with academic requirements like those in the United States: GPA, essays and deadlines.
When you graduate from high school, you can have ISP courses already completed and a more competitive profile for admissions and scholarships in the United States. Each university evaluates the credits.
