There are hundreds of students making the crucial switch from high school into college. Many students have opted for spring admissions at ANC with pending O/level results as smart parents realize that time is ticking and the right steps taken in higher education will make a world of difference in their child’s future.

Students joining college after O/Levels need not worry about choosing a major right off the bat, freshman students get the opportunity to learn and experience a variety of subjects through the general education or foundation courses which equip them with the information and the opportunity to meet U.S and Canadian international representatives and get first-hand knowledge needed to make that crucial decision of their future.  It is one of the key features of the U.S Education system that provides every student a well-balanced and all-rounded education ensuring they excel in academics while learning the essential soft skills to be a career-ready graduate.

Taking a look at some of the majors that have maintained high popularity over the years that record some of the highest graduation rates in the U.S are Business Administration & Management taking the top spot with nearly 180,000 graduations per year/average starting salary of USD42,000; Liberal Arts with 140,000 graduations per year/average starting salary of USD37,000; General Psychology with 116,000 graduations per year/average starting salary of USD35,000; Social Sciences over 100,000 graduations /average starting salary of USD43,000, Biomedical Sciences with over 100,000 graduations /starting salary of USD65,000; Engineering with 110,000 graduations /starting salary of USD64,000 and STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) picking up in popularity among students around the world. The above mentioned majors are popular due to their versatility and ability to prepare students for satisfying careers.

At ANC Education Students are given abundant support for a seamless transition from O/levels to higher studies where they will transfer to the U.S. or Canada to some of the top universities in the world upon successful completion of their general education requirements or have the option to complete their entire U.S. degree at ANC. Students will receive one-on-one counselling to get them prepared on choosing the right academic path and major based on career-related factors such as job availability, salary expectations, career growth prospects, programme cost, the best return on investment and a field of major that appeals to their interests and passion, career aspirations and aptitude in order to provide the best choice for them financially, professionally and personally.

 

 

Four Freshmen who joined ANC after O/Levels discuss why an ANC education
could be the best investment in one’s future
“US universities offer an unparalleled academic flexibility.”
Kavini Karunathilake
Museus College
US education system allows us to take classes in whichever areas interest us and change our field of study-major- as late as our second or even third year of college. Also, during our first two years, general education requirements include Math, English Composition, natural sciences, social sciences, world cultures, etc. This provides us with a broad education that will expose us to a number of fields and they promote perspectives essential to lifelong learning. I’m enrolled on ANC’s psychology degree programme, but I’m interested in film production as well. As I’m taking general education classes at ANC, I can keep my options open. This is a big plus.

 

 

 


“ANC has a strong track record of successful student transfers to top universities in California.”
Ashleen Louise Claire
Holy Family Convent-Dehiwala
I’m interested in pursuing a career in aviation; my family wants me to transfer to a top university in California. ANC has transferred about 2000 students to U.S. universities, and many of them have transferred to reputed universities in California, including, CSU Fresno, CSU Sacramento, and CSU Long Beach. And it’s a well-known fact that ANC has maintained an outstanding visa acceptance rate throughout. Even though we haven’t finished our first semester yet, we, transfer students, have already been given the instructions to maintain a good GPA to secure a scholarship, choose a university in terms of affordability, career goals, and post-study work opportunities, etc. We also get the opportunity to meet U.S. university representatives and receive firsthand information. During our two year stay at ANC, we are taking general education classes offered by Northwood University, so the credits earned at ANC meet the standards established in U.S. universities; this ensures that we get our credits transferred without any hassle.


“ANC helps us make the transition from O level to higher education.”
Danuka Dakshina Peiris
Dharmashoka College-Ambalangoda
I’m enrolled on 2+2 US Transfer programme and looking forward to transfer to a good university in Texas to complete my degree in aerospace engineering. I studied in the Sinhala medium, so my worry was how I was going to be fully exposed to an English-only environment, but my counselor assured me that the transition wouldn’t be an issue. When I started classes only I realized ANC conducts preparatory English and Math classes for every student who need extra support. Remedial classes are also conducted for people who need more help, so overcoming the language barrier is not a problem at all. ANC also offers significant assistance in the way of academic advising.

 

 


“Starting college early,
right after O/Levels, is time saving.”
Dinuth Palihawadana
D.S.Senanayake College
I have always wanted to pursue a career in Hospitality Management in Canada, and ANC has made my dream reachable. I feel truly blessed as U.S. colleges accept O levels for admission. It saves a lot of time. And A levels is no longer a passport to college, especially in Sri Lanka, where state universities can accommodate only a limited number of students. Also, U.S. and Canadian universities offer a rich field of choices for international students. Even with my A levels, I would join ANC’s US/ Canada University Transfer programme. My parents, doctors by profession, are also happy I could start my freshman year at ANC because I’m getting the necessary exposure and support for an easier transition from O levels to college level study as well as “being dependent to independent” that, in turn, will help me succeed in any university in Canada.

For prospective students, remember to explore your options as a world of opportunity awaits you. As U.S. universities accept O/Levels for admission, many students seize this opportunity to start their higher studies early.
