Jump-start your degree and career pathway
Lextorah’s Global Direct Entry Program is for students looking to accelerate their studies in US by saving time and money while gaining academic skills. It allows students to start their bachelor’s degree from home and then progress on-campus to Arizona State University (ASU) for the second year onwards to study in US. This approach saves time, reduces overseas education costs, and maximises visa success by demonstrating authenticity and academic commitment. The program, delivered in partnership with the Arizona State University, leads to various bachelor’s degree courses in US in the fields of business and computing/IT.
Students complete the program in 6 months, studying 8 modules equivalent to 2 semester of undergraduate studies in US. They receive unlimited 1-1 academic support from highly qualified teachers, a unique program feature. The partner ASU awards the transcript.
