What is the IHC 2+2 Model

IHC prepares students during two years of study in Dubai for transfer to universities in the US. Preparation starts in the Freshman year at IHC, when students work with academic counselors to develop a clear academic plan. The Academic Plan is based on students’ natural aptitude and interests. The Academic Plan lists the ideal universities and their specific requirements for each student. Our 2+2 model allows students to save money, gain more academic preparation and be closer to home by completing the first two years of the bachelor's degree in Dubai and then moving on to the final two years at elite universities in the US or other regions.

Vision

IHC will be known throughout the MENASA region for our progressive American curriculum college education and superior rates of student success. Strategic Goals and Objectives: 1. Increase access to higher education of under-served groups in the MENESA region. 2. Foster innovation in teaching and learning to improve student success – establishing the Global Classroom and Anytime Anywhere Learning 3. Promote college-wide interaction with, and acceptance of, diverse peoples, cultures, arts, and perspectives. 4. Engage all members of the college community in an ongoing program of environmental sustainability and resource conservation.
