Study Program Options
At Citrus College, you can choose from two study options: College Program or Intensive ESL.
College Program Option
The College Program Option is available to students who meet the program English proficiency (Minimum TOEFL 450/45, IELTS 5.0, two years of high school in the US, official US college transcripts with a passed Academic English course, FLS Level 14 [Formerly 7b], ELS Level 109, IKEN Grade 2, Kaplan Higher Intermediate Level, Pearson 39, or ITEP 3.5). Proof of English proficiency is NOT required for Intensive English Option (ESL) applicants. The ISC also has agreements with local language schools for transfer students who have passed their language programs.
In the College Program, you can choose from close to 19 transfer degrees with guaranteed admissions to the California State University System, 32 other associate degrees, and 43 certificate programs. These university-level programs prepare you to complete your bachelor’s degree at four-year universities in California.
Along with university-level classes, students enrolled in the College Program can select from a variety of English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) classes, allowing you to enhance your English skills in conversation, reading and writing while you earn college credit.
Intensive ESL Option
The Intensive ESL Option is designed for students who have either scored too low on an approved English proficiency test or who have not taken an English proficiency test. This option will help you learn English or improve your English skills in order to complete college work. The Intensive ESL Option is a one or two semester immersion program in English language and daily living skills that prepares you to take either the TOEFL or start the College Program Option at Citrus College. Students who successfully complete the Intensive ESL Program by passing Level Five (5) may enter the regular academic program without submitting another application.
