English as a Second Language: Many international students start in our ESL program, taught by an experienced team of instructors. Our ESL program is designed to help you learn English and prepare for regular college courses and life in the USA. Our ESL program provides a bridge to college classes as soon as students are ready.

Some students arrive with good English skills and combine ESL classes with regular classes, or go immediately into regular college classes.

University Transfer: EvCC offers a wide range of university transfer degree programs which prepare students to transfer to a university as third-year students. Our international students have transferred to such schools as the University of Washington, Seattle University, University of Utah, Arizona State University, and many others.
