Academic ELL – Improving English Proficiency for College

We Can Help You Succeed in College

Our commitment to helping everyone access a high quality college education includes providing high-level coursework in English as a Second Language. As part of the ELL Enrollment process, you will take the ELL Placement Assessment and speak with an ELL advisor to determine your levels of English reading, writing, listening & speaking. The Academic ELL courses will help you improve your language skills so that you are ready to succeed in your degree and certificate courses.
