Academics

The Center for English Language and Culture for International Students curriculum prepares non-native English speakers to use English effectively in their university study or careers. The classes emphasize a holistic approach to language learning. Students participate in activities that simulate those that they will experience in their future academic or professional environments.  

CELCIS offers in-person courses 45 weeks of the calendar year in two semesters (Fall, Spring) and two sessions (Summer I, Summer II). In-person instruction is available for all proficiency levels. CELCIS helps students meet University English proficiency requirements while studying on the WMU campus.
