Academics

A major, electives, and a schedule that follows your season.

An American university awards degrees that are recognized around the world, with a lot of freedom in choosing your classes. Understanding how it is organized helps you prepare your application and get your past studies recognized.

Chapter 01

The degrees

  • Associate · 2 years
  • Bachelor’s · 4 years
  • Master’s
  • Bachelor’s degree: the four-year undergraduate program.
  • Associate degree: a two-year degree, offered at junior colleges (NJCAA), often used as a stepping stone.
  • Master’s degree: graduate studies after a bachelor’s (our Graduate program is for athletes who already have university credits).
Chapter 02

Choosing your classes (majors)

  • Major
  • Electives
  • Academic support

The American system is built around a major (your main field of study) plus electives. You build a flexible program, with academic advisors who help athletes balance their training schedule and their course load.

Chapter 03

Equivalences and recognition

  • Transcripts
  • Certified translations
  • Campus life

Your school records are reviewed to establish how they compare with US standards (transcripts, diplomas and certified translations where needed). The US degree you earn is then recognized at home and internationally.

Campus life is part of the experience: on-campus housing, dining and health coverage included with your enrollment.
