English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)
ESOL prepares students to transition into other College programs and enables them to pursue economic success and assimilate as active citizens.
Adult Education at FSCJ includes a range of instructional programs that help adults acquire the foundational skills they need to be productive workers, family members, and citizens.
The program areas are English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), Adult Basic Education (ABE), GED® Preparation: High School Equivalency, Academic Skills Building (ASB), and Integrated Education & Training (IET). These programs teach skills such as reading, writing, and math, while also helping adult learners gain the skills needed to enter and succeed in the workforce and/or postsecondary education.
Adult Education courses are offered during the Fall, Spring, and Summer terms.
Tuition for Adult Education programs is $30 per term.
Please note: Adult Education programs can have different deadlines for registration, course swapping, and payment compared to other programs at the College. Students will need to check their FSCJ email regularly to avoid missing these important deadlines.
