2 Plus 2 Admission
Lone Star College and Sam Houston University have created a joint admission opportunity for international students.
How Does It Work?
- Start by applying at Lone Star College System (LSCS).
- Attend LSCS classes (including ESOL if necessary) for two years until completion of the LSCS requirements for your associate degree.*
- Make a 2+2 seamless transfer from LSCS to Sam Houston State University (SHSU) on the Bearkat Transfer Scholarship, for qualifying students.**
- Complete two additional years at SHSU for a bachelor’s degree (depending on your program requirements).
* Students who need ESOL classes before they can enroll in college-level classes may require more than two years to complete their associate degree.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- I am looking to pursue a master's Degree. Does the 2 Plus 2 apply to me?
Because master's degree programs have special admission requirements, the 2 Plus 2 is only available for students who are seeking bachelor's degrees.
- How long will it take me to finish my associate degree if I need ESOL classes?
This will depend on your level of English. Upon your arrival to Lone Star, you will take an English placement test which will determine your level.
