English for Academic Purposes (EAP)

English for Academic Purposes is an intensive program for non-native speakers of English who wish to gain English skills necessary to enter college-level content classes.

The EAP program does not require TOEFL scores. International students are required to take the EAP placement test before registering for EAP classes. Before entering the EAP program, resident students must either complete or test out of ABE ESL Level 6.

The EAP program provides five levels, beginning through advanced, of instruction in Reading/Writing, Grammar/Speaking, Conversation/Pronunciation, and American Culture.
