ESL Study at IUPUI
IUPUI offers a semi-intensive ESL Program for admitted students to help you develop additional language proficiency. The results of the IUPUI ESL Placement Test determine whether you are required to enroll in ESL courses. These courses are taken alongside courses required for your academic program and count towards full-time enrollment. Although most of these courses do not satisfy degree requirements, they do count towards your full-time enrollment requirement for financial aid purposes.
