Bridging Program (Stage 1)

The Bridging Program (BP) is a program for excellent students who meet all of U of A’s academic criteria but still need to improve their English skills in order to enter a degree program. BP students can take English language courses and earn academic credit at the same time. The BP will put you on the right path to become a U of A graduate. If you complete the program successfully, you can enter a full-time degree program. You’ll be eligible for entrance scholarships. As a BP student, you can stay in a U of A student residence. It’s convenient to live on campus, and it’s the perfect way to make new friends. You’ll get your own ONEcard, a student ID card, that will give you access to public transit, U of A libraries, athletic facilities and more. You’ll have access to top-quality student services. Faculty advisors and the BP advisor are here to help you succeed.
