The Institute for Global Student Success helps international students achieve their academic, social and professional objectives in the U.S. and globally.
We offer yearlong programs consisting of an Intensive in NYC before the beginning of the school year and one-to-one mentoring with a faculty member throughout the year.

Our results have been outstanding. New students earned a Grade Point Average of 3.74/4.0 during their first year in the U.S. 90% of our eligible enrollees gain paid internships and/or jobs in the U.S. This is 3x the national average for international students and a higher employment rate than that for domestic students. Companies where our enrollees work include Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Marriott, Disney, PWC, Jaba Technology and others.
