Language support for international students and scholars
Northwestern University brings students and scholars from around the world to engage in research, graduate study, teaching, and intellectual exchange. A partnership between The Graduate School and the Department of Linguistics, English Language Programs (ELP) provides English language training, orientation and community life programs, and English language proficiency testing for international graduate students and scholars, helping them improve their ability to communicate in the classroom and beyond.
