Learning English at University Pathways

A program to help you succeed

Greenville University is a small private Christian university in Illinois, in the heartland of the United States. We are home to a growing number of international students from all over the world who are a special part of our community.

The University Pathways English learning program at Greenville University is a one-year, non-credit program that prepares international students for university-level education in the U.S. The program also provides cultural information needed to be successful students in U.S. university-level education.

 

Classes

The program consists of five levels of instruction. Each level becomes more advanced as students grow and develop their English language skills. Each level lasts eight weeks and contains classes such as reading, writing, grammar, listening and speaking, pronunciation, and a conversation or speech class. Students who begin at Level 1 must successfully pass the 5 levels to complete the program. Students who begin at Level 2 must successfully pass levels 2-5 to complete the program.

Class sizes are small to ensure individualized attention. Typically, University Pathways classes have no more than ten students. Textbooks are provided to students and included in the cost of the program.

Transportation

Greenville University will provide a target arrival date. Make every effort to arrive at Lambert International Airport in St. Louis, Missouri on that date. Communicate your flight information with us so that transportation arrangements can be made to pick you up. At the airport, a staff member will meet you and begin orientation. We will allow time for you to adjust to jet lag, then orientation will begin.

Orientation will involve setting up your bank account, obtaining a phone, learning to find your way around campus and in the city of Greenville, learning important information about the local culture and U.S. laws, meeting professors and administration, bonding with your classmates, and participating in many fun and entertaining activities.
