State-to-States Transfer Programme

Sri Lankan students who are studying for the 2+2 American Transfer Programmes 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 Programme 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.
