State-to-States Transfer Program
Sri Lankan students who are studying for the 2+2 American Transfer Programs offered at various higher educational institutions in Sri Lanka are finding it difficult to secure a US student visa. Therefore, due to the prevailing US Student visa restrictions, after completing the 2-years of study in Sri Lanka, students get stranded without a degree completion option as particular major study areas are not being offered in the private higher educational system in Sri Lanka. This has resulted in waste of time and money invested by the students and their parents.
In order to ensure a degree completion assurance, for the first time in Sri Lanka, AIC Campus is facilitating the State to States American Transfer Program in partnership with two European and two American State Universities with an assurance of completing an undergraduate degree. Students can complete 2-years of their course work at one of top European Universities, respectively Belarusian National Technical University (BNTU) and/or Grodno State University Yanka Kupala (YKSUG) and transfer to one of the two American State Universities respectively California State University - Sacramento (CSUS) or University of Wisconsin – Parkside (UWP) to complete remaining 2-years of study with an exclusive pool of major areas.
