The undergraduate International Gateway Program (IGP) is a 12-credit, semester-long residential program designed specifically for students offered conditional admission to American University (AU) programs. IGP is designed to provide students with full immersion into U.S. academic culture and to sharpen their communication skills. Students who successfully complete the program by earning a grade of "C" or better in each of the four IGP courses will be admitted and enrolled in their AU program the following semester.

Please note that the IGP does not solicit or accept applications from the general public.  

To have received an invitation to participate in the IGP, you must have applied to one of these AU programs:
