ESL (English as a Second Language)
Helps ethnic and international students adjust gradually to the campus, community and country while successfully completing college level courses.

Andrew College has historically served a significant ethnic population whose first language is not English. The first two semesters are designed to allow the student to adjust to the English language and to become acquainted with the customs and practices of this country. After a period of adjustment, Andrew offers ESL students a choice in the selection of the instructional program. During this time, the student will be enrolled in a college level program of course work that treats the English language as secondary. The sequence begins with a series of studies that does not demand a heavy concentration of reading assignments. The student is gradually introduced to courses with heavy reading assignments in this "foreign language" called English.

Students are only admitted into the ESL Program in the fall. Students who score below 500 on the TOEFL or its equivalent may be admitted into the Andrew College ESL Program. Students may exit the program at any time by scoring 500 or higher on the TOEFL or equivalent. Students who score 500 or higher on the TOEFL or equivalent examination may choose to enter into the ESL program. Those who demonstrate a high level of aptitude and skill in a particular area such as mathematics may be allowed to substitute a course outside the program for a social science or religion course. Permission of the Academic Dean is required.
