The program consists of 2 parts:

1. Intensive ESL study at A.C.E. Language Institutes on the SPU campus. Students will enter the program at either level 5 or level 6 and must complete level 6. Level 6 is our college audit program which allows students to take an undergraduate class at SPU with the support of the A.C.E. Language Institute teachers. At the same time as students take the SPU undergraduate class, they also work on proficiency speaking and listening and reading and writing in our highest level academic preparatory English classes. Graduation from level 6 is equivalent to a TOEFL 550, and qualifies a student for study, not only at SPU, in the Pre-MBA Program, but also at many other colleges and universities in the US.

A.C.E. Language Institute Intensive English Curriculum:
A.C.E. Level 4 Curriculum
A.C.E. Level 5 Curriculum


2. The student will take 3 MBA level courses from the SPU list of 9 Core Courses for all MBA students. The courses available will depend on the quarter in which the student enters the program. See below for a complete list of the 9 Core Courses.
