a TOEFL score of 550+ on the paper test, 213 and TWE 5.5 (on the computer-based test)
or 79-80 on the iBT with a minimum of 24 in writing, then you don't need to take ESL
classes. However, if you already have an ACT score of 38+ with a minimum of 18 on
each section – Reading and English, then you don't need to take ESL classes.
For students applying from outside the US, yes.View requirements. |
What do current and former students think about your program?
"As a foreign student, I was required to take ESL. I was happy with the classes and
most impressed with the instructors. My writing, reading and speaking styles improved
quickly, but the classes not only changed my English skills - they changed my whole
lifestyle. I learned how to become a good citizen and made friendships. It helped
me in other areas of my life including inter-relationships, professional career, social
skills, critical thinking, and problem solving. I earned an associate degree in computer
information systems and am working in my field. I recommend OCC to anyone who wants
to grow professionally or personally." - Galagama De silva |
