American Academic Communication II (ESL 15) is a first year writing course for multilingual students for whom English is not their first language. Students engage with different kinds of academic writing, learn how to do library research, and collaborate with their classmates on speaking, revision, research, and other parts of the writing process. This course fulfills the same GWS credit as the first-year writing course ENGL 15, but is designed to support international students who are new to college and the American academic system.

Effective Speech (CAS 100A) explores how people use techniques of oral communication to address practical, professional and civic problems. It is designed to introduce students to principles of effective public speaking, implemented through the design and presentation of individual speeches. CAS 100A fulfills 3 credits of the writing and speaking requirement for general education. 

This Pride is reserved for international students.
