English for Academic Purposes (EAP)

Program Overview

The English for Academic Purposes (EAP) Program is designed for students whose first language is not English. The EAP program is located on the Mount Vernon Campus and primarily serves international students with intensive English instruction. Classes are credit-bearing, with each level of instruction providing between 10 and 20 credit hours per week, depending on placement. Our focus includes English for Academic Purposes, developing intercultural awareness, personal growth, and successful study skills. The program provides a warm and friendly environment where students can readily find support from instructors, tutors, staff, and fellow students. Faculty members facilitate learning, mentor students, and provide meaningful opportunities to learn and practice English.
