What's Special About the CLE
The CLE provides students the opportunity to:
- In-state tuition waivers are available for full-time studies at UNG for students who complete the advanced level of English studies in the CLE.
- Prepares international students for successful studies at university. CLE alumni at UNG maintain a GPA (grade point average) of 3.4/4.0
- No English language proficiency (TOEFL or IELTS) is required for undergraduate admission to UNG after a student has successfully completed the advanced level of English studies in the CLE.
- UNG ranked as one of Kiplinger's Best College Values for 2018
- CLE students must meet all other traditional freshman (graduated from high school less than 5 years ago) or traditional freshman transfer applicants (graduated from high school less than 5 years ago and have less than 30 transferable college hours), submit official SAT or ACT test scores, and meet traditional freshman criteria (UNG international student admission).
- Live in a modern campus dormitory and walk to all school facilities. UNG offers international students a safe location to study, a small American town to enjoy life, a friendly campus to meet American students, and beautiful natural scenery to enjoy the outdoors.
- Study in a small size class. CLE classes contain less than 12 students and provide individual attention for students studying English.
- Have opportunities to observe undergraduate classes to gain first-hand experience of an university classroom education while studying in the CLE.
- Enjoy a unique language environment. The international student population of UNG is less than 2 percent, providing many opportunities to speak English and make American friends.
- Take field trips to some of Georgia’s most important historic and cultural sites in Atlanta and surrounding areas to enrich knowledge of American history and culture.
- Meet American language partners to practice English and make friends. Students may also choose to live with an American roommate to learn more about American culture.
