American Culture and Language Program
The American Culture and Language Program (ACLP) is designed for international students, professionals, or those seeking an intensive English experience focusing on reading, writing, and speaking English, as well as an introduction to American culture.
Classes are scheduled in 10-week sessions during fall, winter, spring, and summer quarters. In order to maximize the individual attention students receive from their instructors, average class size is usually 15 students or less.
