International Students are always welcome at Avila! Here you will find a fully accredited university with friendly, patient teachers, and small classes. Avila is located in a very nice city with shopping malls, amusement parks, museums, movie theaters, and many cultural and historical places to visit.
Avila provides you with many different programs from which to choose. If you need help with your English (ESL), you are welcome to study in the Intensive Language and Culture Program (ILCP). In this program you will learn the English needed to be successful at a U.S. university. It is also a great program if you just would like to improve your English and then return to your home country.
You are also welcome to choose an undergraduate degree from one of Avila's 60+ undergraduate majors. International Business, Management, Communication, Business Administration, and many other majors are available for you to choose. If you need to learn English (ESL) before studying your degree, please tell us, and we will put both ESL and your chosen major on your I-20. Please contact the Intensive Language and Culture Program if you wish to first study ESL and then an undergraduate degree. Remember that you can take classes that will apply to your undergraduate degree while you study ESL!
Finally, if you already have a Bachelor's degree, you are welcome to take classes in one of Avila's Master's programs. Avila has Masters programs in Business (MBA), Psychology, and Education. The MBA department has concentrations in Accounting, Finance, General Management, Health Care Administration, International Business, Management Information Systems, and Marketing. The Psychology department offers graduate programs in Counseling, Art Therapy, and General Psychology. You can also earn a degree in Organizational Development which combines components of both Psychology and Business. Finally, if you wish to teach English, the Education department offers a graduate degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESL). Please contact Bruce Inwards with the Intensive Language and Culture Program if you wish to first study ESL and then a graduate degree. Your intended graduate field of study as well as ESL will be put on your I-20.
We hope that you choose to come to Avila. The faculty and staff will do our best to take care of you and help you feel comfortable as you learn to live in a new culture. |
