RATIONALE
The Business English curriculum is a specialized curriculum which teaches specific content, but ensures the practice of the language. It’s the difference between proficiency in social language and proficiency in academic or professional settings; the later taking more time for a student to demonstrate proficiency.
*The Business English Program is a rigorous program that requires the student to have a strong command of general English skills. If the student does not test at the appropriate level, s/he needs to go over the levels they test at. This is to ensure they have the pre-required skills necessary to succeed in this specialized course.
