English Language Institute at MSOE
The English Language Institute, offered in partnership with Wisconsin Lutheran College (WLC), welcomes students at the high-intermediate level. Students who are conditionally accepted or plan on attending MSOE or WLC may be admitted to these schools upon completion of the ELI program. At the ELI, students will study English for academic purposes in small classes with caring and dedicated teachers. Students will also have the opportunity to practice English outside of the classroom during weekly school-sponsored trips.
