Dean College

학원 소개

The International Student FOCUS Program is a unique and innovative program for international students entering college in the United States. The program combines cultural orientation, English language development, optional individualized tutoring as well as academic classes to give the international student a holistic educational experience. Upon entering the FOCUS Program, the student will meet with an advisor who will plan an individualized course of study that addresses the level of English language and cultural support necessary for success. While many colleges require international students for whom English is a Second Language to complete several semesters of remedial coursework before being allowed to take college-level courses, Dean College has developed a program which immerses students* immediately into the coursework needed for the associate or bachelor’s degree while simultaneously developing their English reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. Specific sections of courses required of all students have been created for international students whose TOEFL scores are 500 (PBT, 171 CBT/61 iBT) or higher, and ESL skill development has been embedded into these sections. International students for whom English is a Second Language are required to complete the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) prior to or during International Student Orientation to determine their level of English proficiency. Depending on this level, students will be placed into the appropriate English and Public Speaking sections, as well as additional academic courses that will fulfill degree requirements. Please see the table below for the specific outline of the FOCUS Program. At all levels, international students are strongly encouraged to enroll in one-on-one tutoring for additional academic support through the Personalized Learning Services Program.
