The English as a Second Language (ESL) program offers a series of English courses to meet the needs of non-native English speakers.

The ESL program is designed for those students who are interested in learning to read, write, speak, listen to and understand the English language in order to work toward the Associate in Arts, Associate in Science or the Associate in Applied Science degree or College Credit Certificate programs to progress toward a higher degree or enter the workforce.

Entering students will be tested with a placement test for ESL and placed in the appropriate level of study indicated by their scores: Basic I, Basic II, Intermediate, Advanced I or Advanced II. Students enrolled in 12 credit hours of EAP will be considered full-time students.
