The English Language Institute

On-campus or online, our curriculum results in improved academic English skills and/or preparation to enroll in an American university. At the start of the semester, students are placed in one of four levels, after which their ELI Advisor will provide a schedule of classes for the 15-week semester. Level 4 students can apply to our Bridge Program for dual ELI-SU enrollment and earn university credits toward your degree. Upon successful completion of ELI Level 4, international students can use “ELI completion” to meet the SU English language requirement for SU undergraduate admission. Conditional Admission to a Salisbury University undergraduate degree programs is available for qualified students who enroll first in the Academic English program.

Our summer session focuses on English language learning as well as cultural experiences. You will participate in campus activities, hear presentations by guest lecturers, and enjoy regional travel.
