A LETTER
FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Students,
With the pace of globalization accelerating each year, there are more opportunities than ever
before to have a career outside your home country. The ability to communicate effectively in
English can open job opportunities to you in almost any country in the world.
ELS International Pathways® can support you every step of the way, from finding the best university
to preparing your English for university success. You can study English with ELS at over 60 different
locations in the U.S. By completing the ELS English for Academic Purposes program here, you will
fulfill the English proficiency requirement for admission at any of more than 600 U.S. institutions of
higher learning.
The knowledge you gain in the university classroom is valuable, but simultaneously gaining work
experience related to your major helps you build a strong résumé and puts you on the path to
professional success. Your work experience is an important part of your degree program, and may
be required for graduation. Many of the companies where work experiences take place are famous,
multinational companies with brands, products or services that may be well known in your home
country. Your work experience may also include a summer internship in which you may be paid for
your work while you continue to learn.
When you choose ELS you will become a member of a global family, receiving the finest
preparation in spoken English and writing skills for academic and business success. At ELS, you will
study with students from around the world, some of whom will become your lifetime friends.
ELS is here to help you identify the right program and location for your English study abroad. This
book and the links to websites and videos will help get you on your pathway to English language
study and proficiency – and all the excitement and enrichment that come with it.
ELS will provide you with the skills you need for your education and a successful global career.

What Is Conditional
Admission?
With a Conditional Letter of Admission (CLA),
you and your family are assured that you
have a university placement prior to your
departure for the U.S.

ELS has agreements with more than 600 U.S. universities


that offer Conditional Admission.

ELS University Admission Services (UAS) advisors work


closely with our worldwide network of ELS authorized
Counselors to help you find the right institution for
academic study in the U.S. UAS matches you with
the most suitable university, based on your specific
academic history, selected major, regional preference,
budget and career objectives.

If you wish to choose your U.S. school but are lacking


proof of English proficiency, ELS can help secure
Conditional Admission for you without your having to
take the TOEFL® or IELTSTM.

Here’s how it works:


• Choose a university and apply with the help
of your ELS authorized Counselor and ELS University
Admission Services.

• If you meet the admission requirements, you will


receive a Conditional Letter of Admission. Your
matriculation is subject to your completion of the ELS
English proficiency level required by the institution
and submission of any other required documentation
such as GMAT® or GRE® scores for graduate programs,
or an interview.

• Study up to Level 112 at any of the 60+ ELS Centers


in the U.S. By completing the last three levels of
the ELS intensive English for Academic Purposes
(EAP) program, you satisfy your university’s English
proficiency requirement and can be granted
full admission.

ELS USA UNIVERSITY GUIDE / 25


Ali, Saudi Arabia


When I was 17, I decided to study abroad in the U.S. I
went to the American Embassy in Saudi Arabia, my home
country, to ask them about it. They told me that I needed to study
at a school where I could get an English certificate. I decided to
do my overseas study through ELS.
I couldn’t speak English well at the time. The ELS class on campus
had students from about 20 countries, speaking about 15
different languages. The ELS teachers were very experienced in
teaching these kinds of students. By the end of the day, I’d be
looking forward to going back the next day.
After nine months, I received my certificate from ELS.
I think I matured a lot through my experience at ELS
and university. Especially, I keep in touch with my classmates
from ELS. Because we were all there going through this struggle
at the same time, we developed strong friendships.
At university, when I see my former classmates working hard
and trying to achieve something big and pursue their dreams,
it makes me want to work hard too. I feel grateful for these
important friendships; they give me a lot of motivation.
I’m majoring in biomedical engineering right now. I’m planning
to take a year off to do an internship to gain experience working
in a company, then apply for graduate school. I want to learn
more about the medical field, and then go and help people in my
home country.”

86 / UNIVERSITI PUTRA MALAYSIA
Marcos, Honduras


I am from Honduras, and I studied Civil Engineering. When
I was in classes related to structural mechanics, I had a
fascination for bridges, tunnels, dams, buildings and some
other structures that were built with steel and concrete so I
decided to study a Master program in Structural Engineering,
where I graduated with the highest honors in 2011. Also, I had
the pleasure to work with the best geotechnical engineer and
structural engineer of Honduras. We designed a lot of structures
together including bridges and buildings.
Finally, I decided to study in Clemson University two years ago.
I have heard and read a lot of good comments about it, hence
my decision to study in Clemson. I began at the ELS/Clemson-
Greenville center on August 25, 2014. I entered the Ph.D.
program with emphasis in Structural Engineering at Clemson
in January 2015. In Honduras I studied English in several
courses, but it is very hard when you don’t have time to study.
But at the same time, I am aware that ELS program is only a
platform; I have to keep reading, learning new vocabulary and
practicing as much as I can.
In my opinion, everything works fine at ELS/Clemson-Greenville.
The teaching system at ELS program is very similar to


Honduras’ system so I feel very comfortable. In most classes, we
