The English Language Center

As part of the College of Arts and Sciences, Drexel’s English Language Center offers an intensive English program throughout the year. In addition to classes in academic skills such as essay writing and oral presentations, the Center offers courses in business English, English for academic purposes, computer skills in English, TOEFL preparation, and other subjects. Many graduate students begin their studies at Drexel in the English Language Center, particularly if they do not meet minimum TOEFL requirements (see the Special Language Enhancement Program, described below).
