Enrollment Requirements

Have you already achieved high intermediate to advanced level proficiency in English? If so, this program is your next step. You can complete the Intensive English Language Program in one or two semesters, depending on your current level of proficiency, and then move directly into an undergraduate program at Utica College. When you arrive, we'll give you a placement exam so that we know exactly what skills you need to develop to achieve your goals. And we can tell you how long it should take you.
