Fully Customized ESL Program

With a Fully Customized Program, an organization has the freedom to choose their start and end dates, choose between full-time program or part-time program options, and choose between ESL or Business English curriculum.

In a Fully Customized Program, students not only have the opportunity to take English content courses but also to explore beautiful Orange County and learn about American culture with local and international UCI students.

Youth Programs (for ages 15-18) will always be customized and may not be integrated with adult public programs.
