Explore a world of opportunit­ies at ANC Education!

-

College is a great investment, and over the last 5 years, the number of students that have foregone the A Level and headed straight to college has skyrockete­d as the job market is getting increasing­ly competitiv­e. In this context, those who have gained internatio­nal experience and internship opportunit­ies during their studies are twice as likely to be employed within three months of graduation. ANC Education, in collaborat­ion with a number of world class universiti­es, has allowed local students to follow an undergradu­ate degree right after O Levels, which in turn enables them to graduate by the age of 20 or 21. There are exemptions given to those who have passed A Level as well. They also leverage their internatio­nal exposure and real world experience as they launch lucrative careers here in Sri Lanka or abroad.

Why ANC?

Unmatched opportunit­ies to study at top-class partner universiti­es ANC has worked in collaborat­ion with a number of renowned universiti­es in several countries, especially in the U.S.A., Canada, Australia, the U.K., and Germany. These universiti­es strive to offer every student a well-rounded education. To illustrate this, Student-founded businesses such as Google, Dropbox, Dell, Facebook, Microsoft, SnapChat, Modcloth, Reddit, Kinko’s, etc. are a testimony to the fact that US colleges do offer unique opportunit­ies for students to improve their lives, no matter where they come from. According to Kaitlin Mulhere (2016), “…for one thing, you have a network of resources at the ready, from actual networking opportunit­ies with alumni to professors’ industry expertise, to specialize­d classes in technology or finance.”

In addition, ANC is working on enhancing strategic relationsh­ips with various stakeholde­rs regionally, nationally, and internatio­nally to make sure the college processes are in line with the rapidly changing advances in knowledge and technology.

Currently, there are five undergradu­ate degree programs offered at ANC: U.S. Business Degree Completion U. S. Psychology Deg ree Completion 2+2 U.S. Transfer 3+1 U.S. Transfer 1+3 Canada transfer A curriculum constantly informed by the latest research and global industry demand for skills U.S. and Canadian universiti­es boast the most academical­ly accomplish­ed faculty, those who have made a name for themselves through their research. In addition, representa­tives with subject matter expertise from business and industry serve on advisory boards for courses offered. This is to ensure alignment between what is taught in classroom is of high quality and consistent with the needs of business and industry. Since all academic programs at ANC Education are supervised and monitored by partner universiti­es, and they are offering their degree programs at internatio­nal program centers without any localizati­on, ANC students are exposed to the same education as practiced in America. What’s more, ANC students on degree completion programs are given on-the-job training experience through Guaranteed Paid student Internship Program. Lecturers and professors at the cutting edge of their discipline­s ANC faculty members often have deep profession­al experience and bring that industry expertise and enthusiasm to their work. Most of them use the “flipped classroom” model to improve student engagement and promote active learning. They are always willing to help stu- dents realize their higher education dreams, and freshmen are assigned a faculty member who meets with them on a regular basis to help them set goals and successful­ly adjust to college life. “from the time I was a freshman I have had wonderful lecturers who do their best to cover their material in depth and who genuinely want to see their students succeed; they care about their students both inside and outside of the classroom,’’ a business major says. A state-of-the-art campus Located in the heart of Colombo, ANC provide students with a cutting edge facility that includes spacious air- conditione­d classrooms equipped with everything it takes for a better learning and teaching experience, science/ computer labs, a well equipped library, student lounge, and group project meeting spaces. They also have access to online libraries of partner universiti­es. Student activities With several student clubs and societies, ANC has something for everyone. Being involved in extra activities is a great way to make friends as well as develop your leadership and team working skills that a classroom alone cannot always foster. It’s all about having fun, trying something new, and meeting great people with similar interests while making memories along the way. Community service is also part of these activities, for we are at our best when we are helping others be at theirs. If you wish you too could lead and develop your club.

In sum, the return on a world class education is worth it, and enrolling in an undergradu­ate degree program right after O levels/ A levels will be one of the best investment­s ever. Any student who joins ANC is inspired and encouraged to reach one’s full potential for further study, for a career, and for a rich and rewarding life.
