English Proficiency

All students take a TOEFL test upon entry to determine their English proficiency level

  • Upon arrival, international students will undergo an English evaluation process and be placed in a class that matches their English proficiency level (CP 1-4 or straight to LA)

  • Students generally progress through each level, but may skip levels based on their test scores

  • Transition to the Liberal Arts (LA) program when ready (typically within 1–5 terms)
