English as a Second Language
The objective of the stand-alone ESL program is to enhance the English-language proficiency of individuals who have pre-existing vocational knowledge, training, or skill, but cannot use that knowledge, training, or skills because of their English speaking deficiency. ESL courses are sequenced and delivered in four levels consisting of four courses each. The four courses of each level are taken concurrently. Students are placed in levels according to their scores on the CASAS Survey Achievement Pre-test.

If a student enters the program at Level 2, 3, or 4, he or she will receive Advanced Placement credit for the lower level courses. Students completing Level 2, 3, or 4 are administered the CASAS Survey Achievement Post-test as an exit examination to measure competency.

This program is offered at Hamden and Waterbury locations.
