Postgraduate Diplomas in Hospitality and Business Management (PGDHM and PGDM) are postgraduate-level programs that are recognized alternatives to an MBA or graduate program and offer comprehensive postgraduate-level study that prepare students to work anywhere in the world and include an opportunity for one year of optional practical training in the US (pages 22-25).

Global Nursing Review Program (GNRP) assists international nursing professionals to develop a clear understanding of the philosophy and practice of nursing in the US, provides experience working in a US hospital or clinic, prepares participants for the NCLEX-RN examination and improves international employment possibilities (pages 26 and 27).

Optional Practical Training (OPT)

Students who study a minimum of one full-time academic year (9 months) at the University of California, Riverside, in a professional or postgraduate program may apply for permission to work for up to 12 months in their ﬁeld of study. This allows students an opportunity to apply the knowledge acquired in the classroom to a practical work experience off campus. This work experience is called Optional Practical Training (OPT). The University of California, Riverside, IEP will assist students with their OPT application; however, students are responsible for ﬁnding their own job opportunity.

Internship Program

Participants who successfully complete the 10-week Postgraduate Certiﬁcate in Management (PGCM) program may enter a 10-week Internship Program which provides unpaid job placement in an American company.

Admission Requirements

Academic, Professional and Postgraduate Programs require an advanced level of English (see individual program description for language requirements). Students who can not show ofﬁcial scores will be tested upon arrival. Students who do not meet the English language requirement will be referred to the University of California, Riverside, English language program. Postgraduate programs normally require a bachelor’s degree (or equivalent combination of education and management experience).

Pathways to University and College Study in the USA The California Postsecondary Education System The California postsecondary education system consists of a full range of public and private schools.

The University of California System (UC)

The top State research university is the University of California, which consists of 10 campuses including Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, Merced, Riverside, San Diego, San Francisco, Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz, and is considered the world’s ﬁnest public university system. The UC system offers access to students from the top 12.5% of California high school graduates and provides most graduate studies and research.

The California State System (CSU)

The CSU is the largest university system in the US and is intended for the top one-third of California high school students. The CSU system consists of 23 campuses. The universities within CSU are primarily for undergraduate education, although many of the larger campuses offer master’s-level degrees and since 2007, the CSU is authorized to award doctoral-level degrees in Education (Ed.D.).

The California Community College System The California Community College System has 109 campuses and provides ﬁrst- and second-year courses only, leading to Associate of Arts or Associate of Science Degrees. Students can then transfer to the CSU or UC system to complete their third and fourth years and receive their bachelor’s degree.

Private Education

California has hundreds of other private colleges and universities, including many religious and specialpurpose institutions

Accreditation

Accreditation is a certiﬁcation of the academic quality of an institution of higher learning. The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) is responsible for the accreditation of public and private universities and colleges in California.

Optional Practical Training (OPT)

The Riverside International Transfer Track is a cooperative program between two California state institutions: University of California, Riverside (UC Riverside), and Riverside Community College (RCC).

No SAT or TOEFL required.

For detailed information, please contact the IEP office.

International Education Programs Applying for Undergraduate Admission It is difficult for international students to enter the University of California, Riverside, as first-year undergraduate students. Students must have exceptional high school grades, meet the language requirement and have successfully completed the SAT exams before graduating from their home country. Most undergraduate students attend a California community college for the first two years and then transfer to the UC, CSU systems or to another college or university for degree completion. There are many advantages of studying in the community college system for the first two years. The programs and courses are of high quality. The entrance requirements are lower and students are not required to take the SAT exams. Courses can easily be transferred to the CSU or UC system or to any university in the US. Courses are also cheaper in the community colleges than at a CSU or UC.

Applying for Graduate Programs

Admission to graduate programs at the University of California, Riverside, is highly competitive. Students must meet strict admission requirements and since the number of qualiﬁed applicants may exceed the number of places available, many wellqualiﬁed candidates may not be accommodated.

Conditional Admission The University of California, Riverside, International Education Programs wants to help students successfully enter undergraduate and graduate programs in the U.S. and has partnered with several community colleges and universities to provide greater access to their programs. These colleges and universities have agreed to offer conditional admission to students who have completed level 600 of the Intensive English Program (IEP) or the University Admission Preparation Program (UAPP) at the University of California, Riverside. Students must meet all academic requirements for the intended program. (Please visit our web site for a complete list of partner colleges.)

University and College Counseling Services

The University of California, Riverside, International Education Programs provides information and counseling services to IEP students wishing to pursue undergraduate or graduate study at any institution in the US. There is no additional charge for these services. IEP also organizes a university and college fair each session where local and pathway partner institutions are invited to talk about their academic programs.
