TuitionUSD 9,280 / termPure Academic English (language-only): $9,280 for 1 semester, $18,560 for 2 semesters. Blended Pathway tuition once qualified to enter it: Standard Pathway/Undergraduate Transfer, 2 semesters, $35,250; Comprehensive Pathway, 3 semesters, $45,470; Undergraduate Direct Entry (no pathway needed), 1 semester $16,420.

What you need

  • none required to start Academic English; INTO's own leveled Academic English programme is the alternative routeFrom UAB's own undergraduate catalog: Standard Pathway (2 semesters) needs TOEFL iBT 60 / IELTS 5.5 / Duolingo 90 OR completion of Academic English Level 4, minimum GPA 2.0; Comprehensive Pathway (3 semesters) needs TOEFL iBT 50 / IELTS 5.0 / Duolingo 75 OR completion of Academic English Level 3, minimum GPA 2.0. Graduate Standard Pathway (2 semesters) needs TOEFL iBT 65 / IELTS 5.5 OR Academic English Level 4, minimum GPA 2.5.
  • Minimum GPA 2.0 for undergraduate Pathways, 2.5 for the Graduate Pathway; equivalent of a high-school diploma for undergraduate entry, equivalent of a 4-year bachelor's degree for the Graduate Pathway.
  • Passport
  • Academic transcripts/degree certificate
  • F-1 visa costs cited on the same official page: $350 I-901 SEVIS fee plus $185 MRV visa fee = $535 total, separate from the I-20 financial-proof requirement.

Where it leads

Guaranteed progression into a UAB bachelor's degree (Undergraduate Pathway majors) or master's degree (e.g. Business Administration, Biotechnology, Computer Science, Data Science, Civil Engineering) once the matching Academic English level or test score is reached.

Visa

Standard INTO/university F-1 process; SEVIS/MRV fees are published ($350 + $185) but the I-20 financial-proof figure is programme-specific and only disclosed in the individual acceptance letter, per UAB's own visa FAQ.

Things to know

No nationality restriction found; standard F-1 process applies to all nationalities including Mongolia.

INTO's network-wide agent programme (2,500+ partners, its own partner portal) is confirmed at the INTO corporate level; no commission percentage is published. INTO's cheapest tier (Accelerated Pathway) actually still requires a test score - only the Standard and Comprehensive tiers let an Academic English level substitute.
