Cambridge College Announces Partnership with the International Language Institute of Massachusetts

Cambridge College and ILI partner for international students
ILI carefully selects their partner colleges and universities. Cambridge College was selected because of its program offerings and commitment to the adult learning model.

Cambridge College and the International Language Institute of Massachusetts (ILI) recently announced their partnership through the University Pathways Program. Through this partnership, international students in the University Pathways Track receive the academic support and counseling they need to help them transition successfully to Cambridge College.

ILI carefully selects their partner colleges and universities. Cambridge College was selected because of its program offerings and commitment to the adult learning model. ILI’s mission is closely aligned with that of Cambridge College. Both educational institutions promote intercultural understanding by providing academically excellent instruction to a diverse population of individuals.

“I am so excited that we have formed this partnership. Both organizations are committed to working with the adult community.   ILI is an impressive organization and this agreement will allow both schools to expand our international footprint and serve more students in need.” Teresa Forte, Director, Cambridge College Springfield.

The partnership provides an opportunity for international students who attend and successfully graduate from the ILI to be exempt from taking the TOEFL exam for admissions at Cambridge College and its thirteen other partner schools. Additionally, the Institute offers free part-time afternoon and evening English classes at their downtown Northampton site.

 “We are so pleased to welcome Cambridge College to the University Pathways Program, and we look forward to working with the College in welcoming students from around the world for study in the United States. When strong, like-minded partners team up, the opportunities are limitless.” Caroline Gear, Executive Director, International Language Institute of Massachusetts
