The ESL Center offers classes to help you meet the entry requirements for full admission to a degree program with Kent State as well as many other institutions or professions. 

The ESL application is for students whose main interest is learning English. If you only want to apply for the ESL program then you should submit an ESL application.

Please apply directly to the degree program if you intend to enter it under Conditional Admission. If you enter under Conditional Admission, you will take English language classes at our ESL Center before entering your program. 

Please note that all international university applicants must provide proof of English language proficiency unless they qualify for a proficiency waiver. 

• Undergraduate applicants who do not meet the minimum language score for admission may be admitted conditionally if they meet academic requirements. 
• Some graduate programs offer Conditional Admission. Graduate applicants who are interested in Conditional Admission should still provide an English language proficiency test to be considered.
