English for Academic Purposes (EAP)

The English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program offers a series of English courses to meet the needs of non-native English speakers.

The EAP program is designed for those students who are interested in learning to read, write, speak, listen and understand the English language in order to work toward the Associate in Arts, the Associate of Science or the Associate in Applied Science degrees or College Credit Certificate programs to progress toward a higher degree or enter the workforce.

Entering students will be tested with a placement test for EAP and placed in the appropriate level of study indicated by their scores: Basic I, Basic II, Intermediate, or Advanced. Students enrolled in 12 credit hours of EAPwill be considered full-time students.

The placement test for English is administered at St. Petersburg College on a regular basis.
