Academic Transitions (AT) pathway program for conditionally-admitted undergraduate students
www.udel.edu/eli/at
Through Academic Transitions (AT), students with excellent academic backgrounds can be conditionally accepted to an undergraduate program at the University of Delaware. In this exciting program, international students improve their Academic English skills at the ELI while also earning valuable university credits!
No TOEFL or IELTS score is required for conditional admission; however, one of these scores is necessary if students wish to know in advance whether they can be placed directly into AT.
After students meet the conditions of their admission via AT, they will take full-time university coursework and keep the credit they earned (in which their grades are C+ or higher) while studying at the ELI.
The tuition price for Academic Transitions is based on four-month semesters. For more information, visit www.udel.edu/eli/at/price.
Conditional Admissions Program (CAP) for graduate (master’s and doctoral) students
No TOEFL? No problem!

In CAP, graduate students enroll full-time in Academic English courses at the English Language Institute (ELI). Once the students complete the objectives required in CAP, they begin their regular masters or PhD university coursework—without ever taking a TOEFL exam.
