Students in either the undergraduate or graduate Pathway program take both English classes and content courses during their Pathway semester.
Students will take a course on reading/writing and a course on speaking/listening during each EAS semester.
Students in the ALCI program are expected to successfully complete each of their courses before moving on to the next part of their academic program.
To complete a level of English for Academic Success, students need to achieve a 75 (C) in both courses.
To complete Pathway, students need to achieve an 85 (B) in their content courses and a 75 (C) in their English courses.
