Academic Study + Improve English Proficiency

Want to study abroad at ESU but your English proficiency is not high enough? Don’t want to spend your study abroad experience only taking English classes? No problem! ESU offers you a new approach: The Flexible Study Program.

The program allows you to earn credit for advanced Intensive English classes and complete 1-3 additional academic classes, during either the summer session, or your first semester at ESU. If you wish to spend the entire year, you can complete an additional 4-5 academic classes in your second semester.
