English as a Second Language Program
The English as a Second Language Program is designed to help students whose native
language is not English develop the English skills needed for success in the university’s
regular academic programs. These skills include reading, writing, grammar, and other
study skills specific to the American educational environment. Students whose test
scores fall below the cut-off scores established by admissions must register for one
to three courses in the ESL program, as approved by the ESL coordinator, not to exceed
a total load of 14 hours.
Adult learners not formally enrolled in a degree program may also enroll by special arrangement with the ESL coordinator. Generally, these learners would enroll for one or more ESL classes in the fall or winter semester, but we are also willing to accept students for a six-week period at the beginning of one of these academic semesters. We do not have any summer programs at this time.
Please contact the ESL coordinator for more information.
