English as a Second Language

College of the Desert offers programs for students who are learning English as a Second Language (ESL). These programs help students improve their English skills for school, work, or everyday life. You can take classes that give you college credit or non-credit classes that focus on job skills or general English improvement. This helps students get ready for other college courses or for jobs where English is needed.
