Shorelight Course Catalog

Shorelight

Founded in 2013, Shorelight works with universities across the U.S. and abroad to create innovative programs that deliver comprehensive educational services to international students. Our platform connects international students, universities, and service providers to drive student enrollment and performance at scale. We support students throughout their entire educational journey to help them succeed and become exceptional leaders in a globally connected world.

Our Curriculum

Shorelight curriculum is designed by experts with many years of experience working in international education with non-native speakers of English and speakers of other English dialects. The content and delivery of the courses is tailored to engage international students, teach skills that will help them succeed in university-level study, address typical issues they experience in higher education, and provide intercultural insights to help them navigate a new educational and cultural environment.

The courses featured in this catalog range in learning models from one-hour webinars and self-paced modules hosted online on Shorelight’s Center for Academic Success, to workshops and semester-length courses taught in-person at Shorelight partner universities. Many of our materials can be offered in different modalities (i.e., synchronous or asynchronous online, face-to-face, or some combination) based on need.

This catalog provides a comprehensive view of the resources that Shorelight provides to support student success throughout the student lifecycle: from enrollment to academic study to career development. Course offerings also strengthen students’ competencies in areas ranging from academic integrity to writing skills to intercultural competence. The modalities and competencies addressed by each course are included in the course listings.
