“To participate in today’s global job market, mastery of English can be your key to success…”

Dear Students,

With the pace of globalization accelerating each year, today it is easier than ever

before to have a career outside your home country. ELS is your way to globalize

your education by making new friends from countries around the world and

communicating with each other in English – friends to study with, learn from,

and friends with whom to collaborate after graduation.

To participate in today's global job market, mastery of English can be your key to

success, providing you with a valuable skill sought by businesses and institutions

in hundreds of industries. English makes it possible for you to work in global

organizations in any country, whether that country is English-speaking or not.

Since 1961 ELS has been the leading provider of English programs on university

campuses and in exciting city centers in the U.S.A. Our English for Academic

Purposes program is now available at ELS Centers in Australia, Canada, India,

France, Japan, Korea, Kuwait, Malaysia, Panama, Saudi Arabia and the United

Arab Emirates, as well as at more than 60 locations in the U.S.A. alone.

Thousands of ELS graduates enter nationally ranked undergraduate and

postgraduate programs each year. The Ministries of Education of many nations

sponsor scholarships for their top university students to study at ELS before

entering graduate schools. ELS graduates become successful executives,

entrepreneurs, artists, research scientists and educators. Many have high-level

positions in government, including one ELS graduate who is currently a Minister

of Education!

When you enroll at ELS, you are joining a global family. Your ELS classmates

will be part of your campus social network of friends throughout your studies.

And when you graduate, your international friends from ELS will become your

international network, sharing job opportunities that will connect you to a world

of opportunities.

Become a global citizen. Study with your family of the future at ELS!

STUDENT EXPERIENCE AT OUR ELS LANGUAGE CENTER

ELS is the only language program that offers both full-time classes and full-time support. One of my favorite ELS traditions is graduation day, when Level 112 students give a speech before they receive their Certificate of Completion. In their speeches, students always thank their friends and teachers; I think this is something special about ELS. We provide high-quality academic instruction in an environment that facilitates intercultural exchange and friendship. I love talking to students and learning about their countries and cultures. For me, coming to work is like traveling around the world without needing a plane ticket. I’m here to help students enjoy their journey toward their goals!
