Intensive Professional English-Intensive Professional English

Designed for working professionals and university graduates, the Intensive Professional English program offers opportunities to refine your English skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing for professional settings. You’ll develop your knowledge of practices and organizational structure in the U.S. private and public sectors, including business, NGOs, non-profit administration, government, and public policy. While exploring these fields, the program emphasizes the critical leadership, cross-cultural, and communication skills you need for success. Offered as two 8-week modules, one with a focus on business and NGOs (module A), and the other on government and nonprofit administration (module B), each professional module is independent and may be taken separately or in two consecutive terms.

As a student in module A, you’ll study the principles of U.S. business practices and NGOs while networking and interacting with native English speakers in live and/or virtual professional settings. You’ll also analyze case studies, develop business plans, and explore topics such as microfinance, negotiation, networking, and business culture and ethics.

As a student in module B, you’ll study the principles of organizational behavior, public policy, and nonprofit administration, with a focus on leadership and community engagement. You’ll study the U.S. public and nonprofit sectors and have virtual or in-person opportunities to visit government agencies at the local, state, or federal level.
