The American Culture and Language Program (ACLP) is designed for international students, professionals or those seeking an intensive English experience focusing on reading, writing, and speaking English, as well as an introduction to American culture. Under the auspices of the College of Extended Learning, ACLP provides a year-round intensive English language program for students preparing to enter an American college or university or for professionals who wish to improve their English. Additionally, short-term conversation-based programs for individuals, and specially-designed intensive short-term programs for groups are available. Many ACLP students eventually matriculate to California State University, San Bernardino to pursue undergraduate or graduate degrees.
