Course programme
Our program has entry points in Fall, Winter or Spring. You will take one, two or three semesters of classes to develop your academic reading and writing skills as well as English communication strategies. The length of the program is based on your level of English proficiency.
Each week consists of 22-30 hours of instructor-led classes customized to meet individual learning needs and 10 hours of independent and group project-based work. You will also take an undergraduate degree course (CLNG 111- Language and Identity) as part of the curriculum. This course counts as credit towards your degree program of choice.
If you achieve early success in the program, you may receive a modified schedule allowing you to earn up to two additional credits prior to starting your undergraduate studies.
Students commencing studies in the Fall semester with an IELTS of 6.0 (or equivalent) will spend the Winter semester taking courses offered through Ryerson’s Chang School of Continuing Education for the opportunity to earn credits towards their degree program of choice prior to beginning their full-time undergraduate enrollment.
