English as a Second Language

There are two different programs within this department:

Credit ESL

These classes help students who want to complete degrees and / or transfer to universities.
To choose the right level of credit ESL, see Guided Self Placement.

Noncredit ELL

These classes help adult learners improve English skills for work, school, and the community.
