Successful Graduate Study & English Skills
International students are advised that English skills, participation in class discussions, and originality of required work are critical factors in successful graduate study. Independent thinking is essential; reading with a critical eye is recommended. Students are encouraged to question presented material and to avoid immediately accepting all material as absolute fact.
Students who require tutoring or additional coursework in written or oral English skills may wish to contact the Coordinator of the Academic English For International Students Program at 346-0513. Also, the Graduate Coordinator at CIS can help explain this resource.
