Information on ESL

Program Description

Come to the United States to study English at one of America's best learning institutions, North Park University. Located in Chicago, a world-class city known for its multinational businesses, vast educational resources, and multiple ethnic communities, North Park offers an unusual learning opportunity to international students and recent immigrants seeking undergraduate- or graduate-level education.

ESL students from around the world choose from two programs:

• Academic ESL Program (fall and spring semesters): this 15-week program is designed to prepare students for future studies in an American university setting.  Upon successful completion of the Academic ESL Program, students who have already been accepted into a North Park University or Seminary program may enroll full-time in that program.
• American Studies/ESL Summer Program : a five-week intensive language and culture experience.  It's an ideal choice for students who want to put their English into practice as they experience the city of Chicago as part of the curriculum.
  
  

Class sizes are small -- 12 students maximum -- so students can receive personalized attention.

North Park's ESL Program is a full member of the American Association of Intensive English Programs (AAIEP).
