The College Bridge program is designed for international students who plan to take full-time college classes, but still need to improve their English. College Bridge allows students with intermediate and upper-intermediate English proficiency to continue developing their language use while earning up to 16 college credits, which is equal to one quarter of full-time study. As they progress through the program, students take progressively more college classes and fewer English language classes. The total classroom time is typically between 15 and 20 hours per week. College Bridge courses focus extensively on the receptive (listening and reading), productive (speaking and writing), and interactive language skills needed to succeed in American colleges and universities. Students listen and respond to lengthy lectures and videos on cultural and academic topics, take part in online and in-person discussions, and give formal and informal presentations. Additionally, they read extended journalistic, academic, and fictional texts, summarize and respond to these readings, and develop their own ideas and arguments in multi-paragraph essays and reports.
