Undergradute Programs

The Proficiency Skills courses in English as a Second Language (ESL), Writing, Study Skills, Critical Thinking, and Math have been developed to assist students in enhancing skills that are essential to undergraduate academic progress. In order to determine whether a student has a need for these courses, proficiency examinations in English and Math are given during the orientation day seminar. As a result of the examinations, students may be assigned to appropriate courses during their first trimester at the University. An ESL course is required for all students whose placement examination in English receives a non-passing score and whose major problems with English stem from a foreign language background. PS 103 Fundamentals of Math and Math Lab Fundamentals of Math is a course designed to assist students with low proficiency test scores to be adequately prepared for college level math courses at IUG. English as a Second Language Intensive classes are available at the intermediate and advanced levels. These classes assure individualized instruction and help students make rapid progress and integrate into mainstream studies in due time.
