When international students first enter a North American university, many are often surprised by the gap between the academic English language skills expected of them compared to their own general English language skills. Combined with a new environment and differences in culture, international students can feel overwhelmed and under-prepared; in fact, many find themselves struggling academically.
Fairleigh Dickinson University’s Pre-University Program focuses on helping international students overcome these obstacles. International students who meet the University’s admission standards, but who require additional training in academic English and learning skills, will be placed in the Pre-University Program. This positive and supportive learning environment prepares them for academic success upon entry to the degree program of their choice.
Program Highlights
One-term course of study, offered three times in the academic year, with start and end times that correspond with the University’s academic calendar: 15 weeks in Fall and Spring semesters; 10 weeks in Summer semester
Three courses that offer breadth and depth for student development (see Courses below)
Opportunities to address the most common causes of difficulties that international students encounter:
adjusting to university learning in a North American culture and meeting university-level expectations, including a focus on study skills and learning strategies
learning relevant background knowledge, technical terminology, and academic and professional communication skills, including leading and participating in presentations and discussions
improving academic English language skills
developing research and thinking skills necessary to prepare academic essays and assignments, which includes accessing credible sources, reading and analyzing information; using sources effectively; following the MLA stylesheet
