Intensive English Program

The Language and Culture Center (LCC) offers three full semester sessions (14 weeks): Fall, Spring, and Summer. The LCC also offers three half semester sessions (7 weeks): Fall II, Spring II, and Summer II. Students may begin their studies in a half semester; however, students must enroll in full semesters following their initial semester start. Each semester start begins with LCC Welcome Week. This mandatory week includes registration, check-in, and New Student Orientation. Each LCC semester includes a variety of student activities.

All classes are taught by instructors with a minimum of a Master's degree. LCC Instructors have academic training and professional experiences in teaching EAL (English as an Additional Language) to adult English language learners. University course observations provide the opportunity for LCC Level 6 students to sit in on a class at the University of Houston to experience the language and academic culture of a university classroom.
