我们的非母语英语课程课程 

“大学 has five levels of 非母语英语课程 classes, from High-Beginning to Advanced. We do not have beginner level classes. We recommend beginners start at 成人学校 until they can read, write, and speak English in full sentences.

Each class is one semester, 18 weeks long. Our core program includes Reading, Writing and Grammar classes at each level. You can also take Listening and Speaking classes. In our first 3 levels, we offer noncredit classes. That means you only need to pay the $33 student fee each semester. The classes are tuition-free.

Levels 4-5 are our academic 非母语英语课程 program. Students can earn credits that are transferable to the California State University and the University of California schools. 当 students complete our advanced level courses, they are well prepared for English 1 (transfer level English) and/or a professional career. You will pay regular college tuition for these levels, so you may want to apply for financial aid.
