New Delhi, August 8, 2024: Physics Wallah’s (PW) study abroad initiative, PW AcadFly, has launched a Dual Enrollment Program, the first-of-its-kind in India; in an exclusive partnership with Marquette University (MU), USA. This program was formally introduced at The School Leaders Summit, organized by PW AcadFly in which 18 leading schools from across India participated.
This unique Marquette Explorer Program allows students to earn up to 24 credits for the first year of their undergraduate studies, through PW AcadFly, alongside their higher secondary education in school; followed by three years on campus at MU, or at another partner university in the US, UK, Canada or Australia. The Marquette Explorer Program is available to 11th and 12th grade high school students as well as gap-year students and first-year international undergraduate students around the world.
At the end of the program run by PW AcadFly, students will receive transferable college credits and an academic transcript from MU; and they can choose to apply to MU or various other top universities, which include The John Hopkins University, Carnegie Mellon University and the New York University, amongst others. The Explorer program offers successful students’ guaranteed admission into MU, and a scholarship of 50%-75% of the tuition fee for the second, third and fourth year of the undergraduate program at Marquette University. Select few meritorious students stand a chance to win a 100% scholarship as well.
Mayank Sharma, Senior Vice President, PW, said, “PW AcadFly began with a commitment to support students in their academic journey, transcending financial and geographical limitations. The Marquette Explorer Program is our first step in the direction of bringing a variety of study abroad immersions for students looking to study abroad. Not only does the Explorer Program reduce the cost of attendance by 50% and saves one full year for the student, it also simplifies the admission process by offering exemptions from standard tests. While being both time-efficient and cost-effective, it also offers a head start to university education while studying at school.”
Dr. John Baworowsky, Marquette University Vice President of Enrollment Emeritus, said, “The Explorer Program has allowed hundreds of students from around the world to begin taking college courses early, which has provided many benefits including tuition savings, academic advancement, and early graduation. We are very excited to be offering this program in India and to give Indian students these same advantages.”
