If you are an international student who is seeking entrance into the English as a Second Language program, the ESL application is the right application for you. We offer a wide variety of options for you to choose from.
1.) Studying ESL only and earning no degree.
2.) Studying ESL + Undergraduate for students who have graduated from high school/secondary school work but have no post-secondary/university/college work; students who have some post-secondary work but no degree; or students who have a post-secondary degree. If you are one of these, you will apply to take ESL first then upon completion of ESL, enroll directly in an undergraduate degree.
3.) Studying ESL + Graduate for students who have completed at least a Bachelor’s degree and are applying for a master’s or doctoral degree. If this is you, you will apply to take ESL first then upon completion of ESL, enroll directly in a graduate degree.
Your international tuition at A-State is based on a variety of factors including how many hours you are enrolled in and which college houses your selected major. In addition to tuition and fees, international students have additional costs that include health screenings and insurance.
