English for Academic Purposes (EAP)

Columbia College’s English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program helps students build the language skills necessary for academic success in a collaborative and supportive learning environment. All EAP courses are non-credit.To determine their placement level, students can either submit IELTS or TOEFL scores or complete the Language Writing Assessment prior to starting the program. Once enrolled, students have full access to Student Services and all college facilities.The program also includes English 099 — a course designed for college-level students who qualify for direct entry into the Associate Degree program but would benefit from additional language support before beginning university-level English courses.
