INTERLINK For West Chester!

Come to West Chester to Learn English, Apply for Graduate School

 

An exciting new venture has come to West Chester University, and it will expand our international student population immensely. INTERLINK Language Centers and West Chester University have come together on a collaboration allowing international students to learn English while here at West Chester University.

What does this mean for prospective graduate students? Well, it means that those with TOEFL and IELTS scores that fall below the University’s requirements now have a second option. If a student’s English falls below the required levels, he or she can apply to the INTLERLINK program here on campus. Students will take classes THROUGH INTERLINK here at WCU in order to increase the English proficiency. It really is an exciting development here at West Chester! Below are links for both the news article and the INTERLINK website.

Big News!

              Hello there everyone! I have some very important news to share with you today. I do not know how many of you knew of the plans for a multi-university campus in Center City Philadelphia. These plans were put in place in order to help reach a greater number of students who would be unable to make the commute to our West Chester campus, and other campuses in the PASSHE system.

              We know that sometimes long commutes can deter students from entering into a graduate program. As West Chester and other PASSHE schools want to be able to accommodate the lives and schedules of a wide range of students, joining what is now being called the PMUC was a no-brainer.

               At the moment, Social Work, Special Education, and Criminal Justice have begun the process of seeking out prospective students for their first fall 2013 cohorts down at the PMUC. Interested students should email the follow:


Social Work: Diane Greenwood dgreenwood@wcupa.edu
Criminal Justice: Dr. Mary Brewster mbrewster@wcupa.edu
Special Education: Dr. Vicky McGinley vmcginley@wcupa.edu




              We hope to move more programs there in the near future. For now, please read this article for more information: http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2013/03/18/far-flung-pa-state-universities-expanding-center-city-philadelphia-presence/#.UUgOtkRNZzc.email
