Overview

The ESL Center offers a unique, intensive language program with a variety of classes designed to complement each other as well as provide in-depth English language instruction. The intensive program consists of seven-week-long modules and allows students to develop those language skills needed in an academic environment as measured by standardized tests such as TOEFL. All full-time students will enroll in five different courses during each seven-week module. All students in level 1-7 take the core courses (reading, writing, listening, grammar and speaking). Students in levels 8-10 may take a transition course in place of one of the core courses. Level 8-10 students also have the option of adding a standardized test preparation course (IELTS or TOEFL) to their class schedule. Initial placement is based on test scores only. Students will automatically advance to the next level through passing grades; they may skip one or several levels through excellent test scores at the end of a 7- week module. All students participate in first-time placement tests as well as in achievement tests after each 7-week module.

Optional Practical Training (OPT)

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
