Parents, put your children on a guided path to a four-year American university.
The primary goal at Ivy Bridge College is to prepare students to successfully transfer and complete a bachelor’s degree at the American university of their choice. The Ivy Bridge College Harvest Pathway Program is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in the English language and the academic knowledge they need to be successful at a four-year university.
Ivy Bridge College’s services are designed to support students and help them succeed–inside and out of the classroom. The curriculum includes strong liberal and general education requirements with embedded writing intensive courses, as well as major requirements and flexible options for electives. Instruction is focused on developing intellectually curious, self-aware students. In addition, student success services guide and encourage students to reach their full potential.
Unparalleled Mentoring and Academic Support
Ivy Bridge College helps students develop academically and personally to ensure that they have the life and language skills, motivation, and self-awareness to successfully transfer to a four-year university.
From day one, students are assigned a personal success coach, who helps them clarify their goals and navigate the college experience. Coaches contact students once a week to discuss assignments and concerns and to keep them on track to graduation. Their discussions include working through personal issues and helping model behaviors that lead to success. They also serve as academic advisors, helping students identify a major, select courses, and address academic challenges.
A Flexible and Manageable Education
Ivy Bridge College offers a flexible and manageable education for students who want to learn online. The program is asynchronous, which ensures that students can go online at any time of the day in order to fulfill their participation requirements and meet their deadlines for papers and projects.
