ENGLISH AS A NEW LANGUAGE
English-as-a-New-Language studies (ENL) are open to all students seeking to improve their English language proficiency. During the application process, a MACC-administered placement exam identifies the student’s language needs, and the program is structured according to students’ language proficiency.
Native Spanish-speakers may concurrently enroll in ENL coursework and major coursework in Spanish, advancing their English language attainment and ministry studies at the same time.
Note: If courses are designated “non-college-level-credit”, it simply means that the credit hours received for such courses are not applied toward a degree program.

As students progress in the ENL Program, they gradually begin to make the transition to the regular undergraduate curriculum. All four levels of ENL instruction can incorporate 3-12 hours of ENL non-college-level credit instruction per week, according to students’ needs. Each ENL course includes an integrated Language Lab component, allowing access to our web-based Language Learning program. A flat technology fee is applied to tuition costs for each semester. Advanced ENL students who successfully complete the ENL 0343 Integrated English Skills IV course will register for the two advanced, college-level creditearning ENL Composition in an Acquired Language courses (ENL 4370 and ENL 4371), which serve as “bridge” courses between the ENL program and college-level courses. In addition, after completing the four levels of the ENL Program (or scoring the equivalent on the Placement Test) students will take an exit test to assess English Proficiency. If they achieve an appropriate score, students transition out of the ENL Program and can proceed to meet their regular English curriculum requirements.
Completion of the ENL Program
Once students have successfully completed the ENL program, and English Proficiency Exit Test, they are required to take an additional six (6) hours in the English language curriculum (ENGL). The requirement may be fulfilled with 6 hours of core composition in English (English 1301 and 1302).
To apply for admission to ENL studies, applicants complete and submit the admission application and the supporting documentation to the Office of Student Affairs (unless otherwise specified). Electronic forms are automatically sent to the Registrar upon clicking the ‘submit’ button. Applicants may submit hardcopies by visiting or mailing us at:
