Overview

About this course

The NCHS 2+2 USA Transfer Programme is the perfect solution for students who want to study in the USA through an easier and more cost-effective pathway. Students begin their studies in Sri Lanka, gaining immersion in the American education system from the comfort of home, before transferring to a partner university in the United States or Canada. The programme allows students to complete up to two years (60 credits) of a U.S. university degree in Sri Lanka and transfer seamlessly to top-ranked partner institutions located in states such as California, New York, and Tennessee. Students may also opt for the 1+3 pathway, completing one year (45 credits) locally before an early transition to an international university. Partner universities include the University of Albany (New York), California State University Northridge, California State University Fresno, University of Lynchburg (Virginia), College of Staten Island (New York), Salisbury University (Maryland), and Austin Peay State University (Tennessee).
