English for Academic Purpose (EAP) Program

The English for Academics Program is designed for students to develop English proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, grammar and writing. The program provides international students with the highest quality English instruction so that the students can enter and successfully complete an undergraduate or graduate program in any English-speaking institution. Housed on the campus of historic Texas A & M University-Kingsville, we are able to offer our students the opportunity to immerse themselves in both an academic and English-speaking environment.
