English as a Second Language (ESL)

Our English as a Second Language (ESL) program is a non-degree program that allows students to improve their academic English skills. Students will place into either Introductory, Basic, Intermediate, or Advanced, based on an assessment administered after arrival and progress through the levels as their skills improve.

Students who successfully complete the advanced level may choose to apply for admission to an associate’s or bachelor’s degree program.
