Classes

The ENL Program is an intensive course of study with an academic preparation focus. Upon admission to the program, students are placed into the A2, B1, or B2 level based on any English proficiency test score provided. If no score is provided, a placement test will be administered upon arrival.

The ENL Program offers four integrative skills-based classes:

Academic Reading (1 Credit Unit (CU))
