English Preparation Program

Our English Preparation Program is designed to give you the English skills you need to succeed in college level classes. Many of our students have continued their studies and earned Associate degrees from Everett Community College and have gone on to earn Bachelor Degrees from top ranking colleges and universities throughout the USA.

In our English Preparation Program, you will learn: 

  • conversation skills 
  • reading and writing skills
  • skills that will help you in your college level courses
  • services provided by EvCC (for example: Writing Center and how to write a college level essay)

We will help you succeed.

Small class sizes make it easy to meet one-on-one with your instructors for help with coursework.

After only two levels of Intensive English you will be able to take a college level class. After two levels of Advanced English you will be eligible to take English 101. Placement into one of the four levels is determined by either submission of English Proficiency Scores (not required) or test results upon completion of our ACCUPLACER test and writing sample during orientation.

How to Get Started

As a new student your language will be individually tested here on campus during your orientation. This test is not pass or fail, but will help us determine which class level is best for you to start out in.

Everett CC Offers four quarters annually (January, March, June and September). Each quarter runs ten or eleven weeks, except for our summer quarter in June which is eight weeks.
