: About the ESL Program |
|
|
The English Language Program (ELP) was established in 1986 to provide language preparation for students wanting to enter and succeed at Kansas State University or at other equally prestigious American colleges or universities. The ELP also provides cultural and academic orientation, as well as bridge courses to ensure students' successful transition into their degree programs. Students also choose to study at the ELP to enhance their English skills for professional purposes or for their own personal enrichment. The ELP serves as an advocate for international students at KSU, recognizing their many contributions to the campus' educational and cultural environment. ELP students gain full access to all KSU facilities and can enjoy using the campus library with Internet access, the student recreation center with an indoor Olympic-sized indoor pool, the International Student Center, and the student health care facility. The ELP is a proud member of UCIEP, a U.S. consortium of University and College Intensive English Programs known for its high professional standards and quality English language instruction.
