English as a Second Language

The English as a Second Language (ESL) program offers two levels: high intermediate and advanced. The purpose of these classes is to provide students with college preparation and academic language instruction. The focus is to prepare students for the GED, vocational certificate, and degree programs, and transfer to a University. Tuition fees apply for credit classes, and Financial Aid is available for those who qualify.

Interested students may also consider coursework in ESLN. Further resources are available via the International Student Office and​ the TASC Language Lab.

English as a Second Language (ESL) Credit Program

The Credit ESL program is for non-native speakers of English and for those who speak English as a second language. The credit ESL program offers multi-level courses in writing, reading and speaking to prepare students for the demands of higher education or a vocational certificate.​​​
