Embassy Pathway Program for international students

University application services

The Pacific Lutheran University Embassy Pathway Program is run and operated by Study Group, global experts in university preparation and international education.

Our team will help with all aspects of your admission to University in America. Applying to PLU through the Embassy Pathway Program makes the normally complex and lengthy application process far more straightforward.

Dedicated support and services

You will receive complete support, expert guidance and services dedicated to international students. From your first day on campus until your graduation day, we will be in contact to monitor your progress and offer assistance whenever necessary. You will have access to a toll-free telephone number that is monitored 24 hours a day in the event of emergencies or urgent concerns.

Partnership with PLU

We have the contacts to get your questions answered, cut through the “red tape” and quickly move your paperwork forward. With our helpful guidance and advice, your application will gain the preferred attention it deserves.

Easy application process

You will benefit from expert pre-application counseling from our Student Enrollment Advisors, and a streamlined application process that focuses on helping you achieve your goals quickly and easily.

Pre-arrival services

We organize all the practical details for you, including your accommodation and meal plan, medical and insurance arrangements. We even meet you at the airport! We can also help with visa applications and other official documentation. It’s all part of the service.

Exceptional value

Not only is the Embassy Pathway Program exceptional value, a single fee means it is the most convenient way to pay for University life. The fee includes all of the essential expenses that are listed on the fees page.
