English Courses for International Students

Students typically enroll in English courses three to six hours per week. These courses confer academic credit and all are graded on a Satisfactory (S)/No Credit (NC) basis. Note that these are 3-unit courses; however, during the academic year, they may be taken for 1, 2, or 3 units. Only the 3-unit option is available in summer.
