English for Admission and Achievement

If your goal is to attend Arizona State University to earn your undergraduate or graduate degree, you can meet your English proficiency requirement for ASU admission at Global Launch.

Global Launch offers online English courses for undergraduate and graduate-degree seeking students who wish to improve their university-level English skills online.

Through watching lectures and participating in online discussion boards with your classmates and instructors, you will gain the confidence to communicate in English and perform better at the university level.

When you complete either English for Admission and Achievement online course with an 80% or better, you will fulfill the English proficiency requirement for admission into the ASU undergraduate or graduate degree program of choice.

Why Global Launch?

Standardized tests like the TOEFL, IELTS and PTE only measure your current level of English. However, for you to successfully succeed at a top American research university, you will need to understand and be able to apply concepts such as critical thinking, research methodology and sourcing and citing.

  Did you know?

Students who graduate from Global Launch earn a higher GPA in their university classes than other first-time ASU international students.
