The ESL Program is a full-time program that enables students to build a strong foundation in academic, cultural and study skills that prepares them for success at the University and beyond. Students take a variety of classes to improve their English and participate in activities designed to help them integrate into university life.

The International Advance Program (IAP) is a hybrid program in which international students take 9-12 hours of carefully selected classes in their major while they continue to improve their English skills with academic support.

Students benefit from small classes and lots of language, social and academic support. Faculty, staff and fellow students provide encouragement and friendship. 

If you’re interested in studying English in a warm and friendly environment, Harding is the right place for you!
