The English Language Institute in the College of Arts and Sciences offers intensive English as a Second Language (ESL) to non-native speakers of English. Students are given a placement test upon registering for the program. This test determines the proficiency level into which the student is placed, ranging from elementary, low-intermediate, high-intermediate, to advanced pre-university ESL.

Students attend non-credit classes 25 hours a week. The curriculum includes training in listening comprehension, spoken English, grammar, reading, integrated skills, content-based writing, culture, learning strategies, and a host of special short-term elective courses (TOEFL preparation, business English, pubic speaking, etc.) for upper-level students. The Seminar in Academic Skills allows students to attend a regular university class.

The English Language Institute is authorized to issue the Certificate of Eligibility (I-20) to students who require a Student Visa (F-1) and who meet criteria set forth by the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service.

The cost of the program is $2,860.00 per semester, including health fee, activities fee, and a non-refundable $50.00 application fee.
