The Program is offered in 4 and 10-week sessions throughout the year. Students enrolled in the Program receive 24 hours of in-class instruction per week. The Program offers 1 level of English classes at the advanced level. On registration day, students are given an English proficiency test in order to demonstrate their required advanced English proficiency. If students' test results exhibit high intermediate or lower proficiency, the Program will advise students to instead attend the Intensive English Program. The Program's intensive curriculum focuses on developing students' skills in the areas of Business Writing and Grammar, Business Reading, Culture and Idioms, Business Practice/Case Studies, as well as offering classes including Introduction to Computers, Business Videos, and Trips to Local Businesses. Additional computer laboratory hours are a part of the curriculum in order to allow students to practice their newly-acquired English skills in the Language Laboratory. Students attending the 10-week session may be allowed to attend regular UCR classes and earn transferable University of California credit. The institutional TOEFL and TOEIC examinations are offered to students every quarter at the UCR Extension Center. Outside of the classroom, students attending the 10-week session are encouraged to participate in the private or group conversation partner program to practice their English conversational skills and develop a deeper understanding of American culture.
