While most students come to prepare for entrance into the University's regular curriculum, we also accept year-abroad students. Our office also offers conditional admissions to the regular curriculum for qualified students. The curriculum consists of six levels. It is possible for students to advance at the end of each level. Level Six is designed for students who have a high proficiency in the language but who wish to acquire academic skills in preparation for graduate or undergraduate study.
Results are available to students the same day.

On weekends, the Office of International Programs and Admissions sponsors field trips for camping, canoeing, shopping, visits to historical sites and to other places.
