To meet the needs of English Language learners, Fisher College offers multi-level English Preparation programs:
The
ESL Transition Program
The ESL (English as a Second Language) Transition Program is designed for international students who want to attend Fisher College, but do not have the required English skills or TOEFL scores to gain direct entry into the undergraduate program. The student's English proficiency will dictate whether they complete the ESL Transition program before starting his/her chosen major, minor or concentration or take it in conjunction with academic courses. The ESL Transition Program provides language training, practical preparation and the opportunity to earn credits while studying on campus - allowing students to gradually move into regular college courses while improving their language skills.
The ESL Transition Program is taught by our business partner Study Group. Visit the ESL Transition Program Web site for program details and admissions information.
