English as a Second Language Center

The English as a Second Language Center offers classes in English as a Second Language (ESL) to help individuals improve English language skills (speaking, accent reduction, listening comprehension, reading, writing and vocabulary development). These courses are intended for university students, faculty and staff as well as international students, business personnel and other individuals who currently are not enrolled in a degree program at Oakland University. These classes can be taken as continuing education classes (CE) as well. Students should consult the English as a Second Language Center for placement in appropriate classes and to take these courses for CE credit.
