EF English courses in the USA
Our Pre-master's program is designed for international students who already have an undergraduate degree and would like to earn a master's degree in the USA. The Pre-master's program consists of three main areas: intensive English language instruction, academic skills development, and specialist modules. The specialist modules depend on your intended master's program. These are academic classes in your field to give you the vocabulary and confidence you need to enter a graduate program in the United States.
