| Overview of the Pre-Master’s Program |
| The Pre-Master’s Program is designed for students who need to meet the requirements for entry into North American graduate programs. Each of the three levels allows students to adapt to academic and cultural differences, to develop graduate level skill-sets, and to assess their individual needs and integrate their learning in order to prepare themselves for master’s level work. The time commitment for this program is approximately 25-30 hours per week and consists of seminars, lectures, tutorials, and independent study/research/writing.
Independent Study
The Pre-Master’s Program contains large components of library and online research, reading, and writing. Although this is a requirement for the successful completion of the program, CCEL will offer guidance through mentoring, coaching, and tutorial programs. |
| The Pathway |
| Students applying to the Pre-Master’s Program come with individual needs. Upon acceptance to the program, students will be assessed based on their academic backgrounds, grade point averages, English levels, and graduate program goals. Throughout the Pre-Master’s Program, students will continue to be assessed in order to establish realistic timelines for application to graduate schools. |
