Everything you need to succeed.
The University Preparatory Program teaches you English and so much more.
The one-semester University Preparatory Program provides ESL students with the necessary skills and strategies needed in their first year of undergraduate studies. Students earn up to 15 credits towards an undergraduate degree and refine their language and academic skills, all while fostering the appreciation of educational growth and diversity necessary to succeed at an American university.
Students enrolled in this program are considered full-time first-year students at Wilkes University, and all classes count towards any bachelor's degree. In order to participate in this program, prospective students must take a placement test at the time of admission and demonstrate a high-intermediate level of English proficiency. Students who place below this level are required to complete at least Level 3 of the Intensive English Program before retesting for admission into the UPP.
