Courses

As part of the International Student Program classes are available primarily for those students who still need support with their English language skills. These classes also promote multicultural thinking and an understanding of American culture. They are required for students whose Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) scores, previous academic record, previous experience in English, personal interview with the coordinator, and post-arrival writing sample all indicate a need to further develop their English proficiency to assure success in their academic classes.

Courses include: English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) and Writing and Vocabulary Development for Non-Native Speakers of English. Placement into classes is determined by grade level, test scores, the English Department recommendations and the coordinator’s assessment.
