Nazareth College of Rochester

Description

Nazareth is a coeducational, independent college on a suburban campus just outside Rochester, N.Y. Our 150-acre, naturally wooded campus is just minutes away from Rochester. The region offers arts, music, shopping, nature, and business opportunities; it is the world headquarters of Kodak, Bausch and Lomb, and Paychex. Rochester is a great place to live, with something for everybody. The greater metropolitan Rochester area is home to more than a million people with an eclectic mix of ethnic backgrounds and religions. And it seems that no matter how far away you get, you're still just 20 minutes away from any place else.

The American Language Institute offers intensive English programs for international students preparing for graduate or undergraduate studies, or who wish to further investigate the English-speaking world. ALI curriculum takes students from beginning-level English to university-level English. We strongly believe that students must develop a wide variety of language skills to be successful and to fully participate in university classes. Through reading, writing, speaking, and listening, we give students opportunities to improve fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary. Classes are offered both in summer sessions and the fall semester, during which students are in classes for 20 hours/week. Students may be placed in beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels based on their abilities. Outside of class, U.S. culture is introduced through conversational activities, where asking questions and sharing feelings are highly encouraged. Students also have the opportunity to participate in extracurricular cultural programs including trips to Niagara Falls, local museums, and other off-site locations. We invite international students to consider making Nazareth College their university home for undergraduate and graduate study in America!
