The English Language Institute (ELI) is part of Pace University. We have offered courses in English as a Second language (ESL) since 1992.
We enroll international students, New York City residents, visitors on tourist visas, and diplomats.
We are in downtown Manhattan, convenient to public transportation, the Financial District, shopping, restaurants, museums and theaters.
Our professional faculty all have Masters Degrees and use the newest language technology, the latest text books, and create original materials to give you a high-quality language learning environment and experience. Also, students use a multi-media language laboratory with the latest language software. Social events include cultural outings, holiday parties, and day trips to places of general interest.
Our staff is the best! They can help you with all admissions, housing, and many other issues. Our Academic Advisors guide you through the college application process.
We want to be in touch even after you leave. Visit our web site to learn about new courses, read about experiences of present and past students and contribute articles to the student-written newsletter, the Thread. The ELI offers four seven-week sessions, a three-week winter session in January, two six-week sessions in the summer and a four-week July course.
