Shorelight is not a university but an educational organization that partners with public universities in the USA to support international students. It collaborates with institutions like the University of South Carolina, Auburn University, and others, which are public. Shorelight itself operates as a private entity, providing services such as admissions assistance, academic support, and cultural integration programs.
Its partnerships with public universities mean students enroll in degree programs at public institutions while receiving additional support from Shorelight. This distinction is important for understanding funding, tuition structures, and administrative processes.
