Academic Preparation Program 2025

Program Overview

This program is specifically designed for ESL (English as a Second Language) learners interested in pursuing a college degree program in the U.S. One important requirement for international students at most universities is an adequate score on the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). This test assesses whether a student’s English language skills are high enough to function successfully in an advanced academic environment. To pass the TOEFL and meet the high expectations of an English-speaking university, students must demonstrate advanced proficiency in reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

This program consists of two parts, with a total of eight courses. Four courses are offered every seven weeks (three weeks during the Summer II session). Each session provides hands-on practice focused on specific aspects of the TOEFL, in addition to classes designed to improve other essential skills for the test and university success. We highly recommend that students attend both parts to gain the most benefit from this program.

PART A – Courses

TOEFL Listening & Speaking
Academic Reading
Academic Writing
Advanced Grammar (Optional)

PART B – Courses

Academic Listening & Note-taking

Note: Students with F-1 visas must register for all four courses to maintain legal status in the U.S. Non-visa holders may register for one or more classes.
