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 begin earning credits toward a SLU degree while building their English proficiency.

Two types of graduate pathway programs are available at Saint Louis University. 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 University degree program is called matriculation.
