Study in the USA
with Navitas

When it comes to university-level education, no other country in the world inspires the academic respect and imagination as the USA. Names such as Harvard, Stanford, Princeton and MIT have become global education brands which have led the way for most of the past century. In the two most influential global university ranking indexes (The Times Higher Ed and the Shanghai Jiao Tong) , American universities have a near monopoly on the Top 10 places, with only Oxford and Cambridge challenging for a spot in the Top 10.

For international students, the USA is a huge draw card. A qualification from a US university can lead to all sorts of career opportunities back home.

From Aug/Sep 2010, Navitas will be operating its university pathway programs at four highly regarded US universities. These programs have proved hugely popular in the UK, Canada and Australia – particularly for international students who are looking for a more supportive learning environment in their studies at a foreign university. The combination of on-campus university study, but in smaller classes and with more contact time with teachers and lecturers, is predicted to be hugely popular in the USA.
