Course Structures: USFP Standard and Intensive Programs
We offer flexibility with two program lengths—Standard and Intensive—allowing you to tailor your learning experience based on your academic level.
The Standard Program spans 52 weeks and provides a comprehensive preparation for students who benefit from a paced learning approach, covering essential academic skills and knowledge necessary for your university success. The Intensive Program, which spans 40 weeks, is suited for students with a stronger academic background or those who prefer an accelerated learning pace.
