English as a Second Language
Housed in the Department of English, the Center for Intensive English offers programs for students who need to complete English language proficiency requirements to meet academic and/or professional requirements. Students may enroll in courses offered in reading, grammar, composition, and oral/aural practice. Students who complete the prescribed Advanced Level classes with a grade of B or better, and who pass the Exit Exam will be granted a certificate of completion. The certificate indicates that the student has completed the Intensive English Language Program. Visit the English as a Second Language/Center for Intensive English website
Upon completion, students may apply for a transfer into their major of choice. Those planning to complete an undergraduate Bachelor of Arts degree may apply for a foreign language waiver.
