English as a second language program

Saint Martin's University offers an intensive ESL program for students who are academically qualified to attend Saint Martin's University, but lack the required TOEFL score. The program offers college preparatory courses for students from the beginning to advanced level. Students applying to the intensive ESL program must meet all Saint Martin's University admission requirements with the exception of the TOEFL score.

Students accepted to the intensive ESL program are granted conditional admission to the University. They are expected to complete their ESL study within an 18 month period. Any extension beyond 18 months will require special permission from the program director.

Students who have achieved TOEFL scores between 480 and 524 enter with concurrent status and are allowed to enroll in one or two regular courses in addition to ESL courses. A student will be fully enrolled in regular courses once a 525 or better TOEFL score has been achieved.

Also note that our ESL program has a "late start" spring semester in order to match better with Asian academic calendars.
