Program Overview

This program allows students to enhance their English proficiency while simultaneously taking up to four credit courses from their major. It is an excellent opportunity for those with an IELTS score of 6.0 or higher to begin their academic journey in September.
Program Structure
The EAP Level 2 Academic Connections Program has a structured timeline that supports students in their transition to university-level studies. The program is designed to be completed over a period of time that includes:
- Program Length: July to December 2025
