Conditional admission to a WPI degree program is an option for students in the ESL Summer Institute. Any student who has graduated from secondary school is eligible to be considered for this program, but students with high intermediate and advanced levels of English language proficiency typically perform best. The ESL Summer Institute is open to undergraduate and graduate students, as well as non-matriculating students. The ESL Seminar, a tutorial providing ESL instruction beyond the Summer Institute, is for students who need additional ESL training during the regular academic year. Students may concentrate on particular problems they might have in listening, speaking, reading and writing.
Classes are small, so students receive individual attention.
