English as a Second Language (ESL) Program
The English department's English as a Second Language curriculum consists of a sequence of courses: EN150 ESL, EN100 ESL, EN101 ESL, EN121 ESL, and EN202 ESL. These courses satisfy the same university and college requirements as their non-ESL equivalents; like the non-ESL courses, they are designed to focus on skills needed for successful use of language in an academic setting. However, the methodology and curriculum for these courses are specially designed to meet the needs of non-native speakers of English, and only non-native students are permitted to enroll in sections designated "ESL." Placement of students in these sections is determined by the results of the English Department ESL Placement Test, given at the beginning of each term.
