A new English language center on campus is helping St. Ambrose attract additional international students as well as domestic students learning English as a second language.
The new INTERLINK Language Center allows academically qualified international students conditional St. Ambrose enrollment while they complete English as a Second Language courses.
In partnering with INTERLINK Language Centers, the university has enhanced the learning experience of a growing number of international students. The center also better prepares select domestic students for growth in the college classroom.
St. Ambrose enrolled 117 international students from 26 countries in 2015-2016, continuing a five-year upswing in enrollment from outside the United States.
"Establishing a partnership to provide English training on our campus is the next step in furthering our international enrollment," said Sister Joan Lescinski, CSJ, PhD, president of St. Ambrose. "Through international education, we create diverse experiences for our domestic students as well as helping students from around the world to experience a wonderful education at St. Ambrose."
The center also is capable of providing services to learners seeking to improve their English for personal or professional reasons.
