University / College Networks
An essential service that Lingua Language Center offers its long-term IEP students is the ability to provide them with advising services and referrals for transition to higher education institutions once they have completed their English studies. Lingua’s partnerships with Broward College and Millenia Atlantic University permit Lingua to offer an array of college counseling, as well as sponsorship and referral services, to ensure that students are well informed and prepared, before making decisions about their continuing education. In this way, an authentic college/university experience can become a reality for our students. Lingua students can benefit greatly from Lingua’s partnership with Broward College and Millennia Atlantic University, through their student, faculty and campus networks, and sponsorship programs, such as that with Hispanic Unity, and Broward Up.
Students attending Lingua benefit both from the small classroom set-up and well-integrated Lingua community while they perfect their English skills, and at the same time, Lingua can prepare them to be able to realize their dream of participating in large-scale university and college academic life, should they choose this path.
