Student Testimonial
International student, Caracalla Ng, says:
"My purpose is to get a nursing degree in the US, but my problem is I am not that good at English to have classes in an American university. Right now, I think the University Pathway Program helps me to improve my English so that I can take degree courses at Pacific Lutheran University.”
