The Business Studies Foundation Programme at INTO Drew University is your essential first step towards a successful undergraduate degree in the United States, specifically designed for international students who need comprehensive academic and language preparation. This programme addresses the critical need for strong foundational knowledge in business principles, alongside enhancing your English for Academic Purposes (EAP) skills, which are vital for thriving in a demanding US university environment. You will explore core concepts in areas like American Popular Culture and Cultural Diversity, gaining a broader understanding of the societal contexts in which businesses operate. This foundation is ideal for students aiming to transfer college credit and build a robust academic record.
Delivered full-time on campus over two sessions, this programme offers a highly structured learning experience with a dedicated focus on academic success and cultural integration. You will engage with pathway courses exclusive to INTO students, which complement university credit-bearing modules such as 2-D Design or Drawing I, and Public Speaking, essential for developing well-rounded communication and critical thinking abilities. Maintaining a 2.0 GPA each semester is key to your academic progress. Upon successful completion, you will be well-prepared to transfer your credits and continue your undergraduate studies toward a Bachelor's degree, equipped with the academic rigor and language proficiency demanded by higher education.
