International Student Information
English Language Program
In order to take full advantage of the education that Princeton University affords them, graduate students must demonstrate a level of oral proficiency in the English language sufficient to participate successfully in all the various activities that comprise a graduate education, including class work, research, and teaching. The English Language Program has been created to determine students' English language needs and to provide instruction and support to non-native speakers of English. If you have questions regarding whether or not the English Language Program is for you, please refer to the English Language Proficiency Policy. For more information about the English Language Program as well as other opportunities, visit the McGraw Teaching and Learning Center located in the Frist Campus Center.
The Graduate School will sponsor intensive courses in selected foreign languages during the summer of 2008. The courses provide a general introduction to language and assist graduate students in acquiring a reading proficiency normally adequate to satisfy departmental language requirements. This means that the student will come away with a basic knowledge of the language and the skills to read it. For more information please visit the Summer Language Program.
