Our Intensive Summer English Program is designed for all students (residents and international students) who wish to improve their academic English language skills in reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Our intensive courses, which range from the pre-intermediate to advanced levels, are carefully tailored to train students to not only learn and perfect their English skills, but also deal with the academic demands of undergraduate and graduate mainstream courses. In addition to the intensive courses, weekly field trips to sites of cultural and historical interest in Boston and its surrounding areas complement regular classes and serve as an immersion tool for our students to practice the language in real settings.

For more information on our summer program, contact our Pre-Collegiate English Program or check our FAQ page.

*In order to secure a student visa, the U.S. government requires that prospective international students show that they have sufficient funds to support the costs of living and studying in the country so students can focus entirely on their academic responsibilities while abroad. UMass Boston specifies that international students must demonstrate the amount of $14,246.

Note: This requirement does not apply to remote learning from outside of the U.S. 

**Funds are only required for international applicants. U.S. residents and citizens are exempt of this provision.
