学术ESL课程
We try to keep our class size to about 15 students so you can get personal attention from your instructor and easily work with classmates.
Most of the classes in the 学术ESL课程 are developmental courses. This means that students take these classes to prepare them to take college-level classes, so students do not receive academic credit for these classes. But if you take ESL 078/COMM 100 or ESL 072/COMM 105, you will receive academic credits for these classes while enrolled in the 学术ESL课程.
You can begin the 学术ESL课程 at three times during the year:
- The fall semester begins in August and ends in December.
- The spring semester begins in January and ends in May.
- The summer session begins in June and ends in July. 这是一个为期六周的密集课程.
Eligible permanent residents or citizens may apply for financial aid to pay for tuition and possibly books. 完成 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) 确定资格. Some limited scholarships are available for ESL students through the 太阳城集团博彩 Foundation.
是的. The classes in the 学术ESL课程 are five-credit-hour classes, so students need to pay tuition based on the current per-credit-hour fee.
The number of classes that you have to take will depend on the type of program and the major that you choose. 在一般情况下, students who choose to take certificate programs or two-year vocational programs should complete the classes in Level 6 (Intermediate courses). 然而, students who want to complete associate degrees or transfer programs should complete Level 7 (Advanced courses).
