EAP Courses are for U.S residents and international students whose 1st languages are not English and who received the following admission types: foundation admission for undergraduates, dual admission for graduates, and full admission as an undergraduate or a graduate into UWM.

The SLAC program is a short-term program for students looking to improve their English skills and their cultural competency. This program provides many opportunities for students to experience hands-on learning in the Milwaukee community and to enjoy the Milwaukee summer.

For more than 30 years, the UWM ELA Program has run the Conversation Partner Program. It runs during the Fall and Spring semesters. The goal of this program is to give international students the opportunity to improve their English skills with a native speaker of English, to learn more about an English-speaking culture, and to get involved in the campus community. This program requires a semester-long commitment.
