12.Universities and colleges in the United States are trying new programs for international students to increase enrollment and income.Some universities are experimenting with bringing international high school students to their campuses.These programs permit students to complete their high school diploma while earning college credit at the same time.One example of this model is at the University of Southern Maine,or USM.The program is called the"International Academy".The school is expecting its first class of international high school students this fall.Joanna Evans is the director for the academy.The program is officially a"boarding school on a university campus"that serves 11th and 12th grade international high school students only.
The students will take classes at the University of Southern Maine to complete their high school diploma.However,because the classes are university-level,the students will receive college credit at the same time.
According to Evans,the students they recruit will have to be very strong.Their course schedule will be the same as taking only advanced-placement courses.The goal is that,by the time they complete their high school diploma at the academy,they will be ready to start college as a third-year college student.
Their English language skills also must be strong.The Academy looks for students with a minimum Test of English as a Foreign Language,or TOEFL score of 79,or a 6.5on the International English Testing System,or IELTS.However,there are classes available to provide additional English language training when the students arrive if they need it.
All incoming students at the academy are required to take a college writing class in their first term.If English is not their first language,they will take a class taught by teachers with a background in teaching students who speak English as a foreign language.
Although they are only high school students,the expectations are the same as college students."Students need to be ready to take university classes,and that is the deal"Evans said.
