SHORELIGHT - USA
Shorelight is not a university; it is a U.S.-based education technology and services company founded in 2013. It partners with accredited American universities to recruit, enroll, and support international students through programs such as on-campus international first-year and transfer pathways, as well as Shorelight Live. Because Shorelight is a private company rather than a degree-granting institution, traditional university metrics such as acceptance rate, campus size, and total student enrollment do not apply directly to it.
