Program Overview
*Not a baccalaureate degree program
The English as a Second Language program at the English Language Institute (ELI) assists international and domestic students whose first language is not English to develop the language skills necessary to succeed at a U.S. university. Undergraduate students enroll in credit-bearing English as a Second Language (ESL) courses to improve their English reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills for academic purposes and to satisfy the university's writing requirement.
Students whose first or dominant language is other than English may satisfy the university's writing requirement by successfully completing two ESL courses: ESL 407 Written English I and ESL 408 Written English II. Students are strongly advised to complete these courses during their first and second semesters of academic study.
