Conditional Admission
MLC students who are interested in attending an American university or college may meet with one of the directors or the assistant to the directors to discuss which university, college or school is appropriate for the student. The director or assistant to the directors will be happy to provide the students with web sites that the student should visit for more information. The MLC will not write nor submit applications for students. If there is a problem or a question about the admission procedure, one of the directors will contact the school, college or university. MLC students are fortunate that the Ann Arbor area offers many different educational opportunities. This gives them the opportunity to choose a university that is most suitable to their needs and abilities. The community college and state university system in Michigan is excellent. It offers MLC students a great number and variety of colleges and universities of all sizes, levels of competition, interest and cost. The MLC is adjacent to the very famous and prestigious University of Michigan. Of course, attendance at the University of Michigan is very competitive. For highly qualified students, it is a great opportunity to be educated at a world class university. Ann Arbor's Washtenaw Community College (WCC) offers a great opportunity for students to fulfill their academic requirements for the first two years of university study in a less competitive environment. In addition, WCC is less expensive than most four-year universities. Students who successfully complete two years of study at WCC have no difficulty transferring to a four-year university. There are also students at WCC who have already completed undergraduate programs in their own countries and decide to attend WCC for four months to a year in order to have academic experiences in English or for their personal enrichment. Some of these students begin attending WCC while they are still attending the Michigan Language Center. WCC offers a qualified MLC student a conditional letter of acceptance. In nearby Ypsilanti, Eastern Michigan University (EMU) offers a wide array of undergraduate and graduate programs. Some international students choose to study for second undergraduate degrees at EMU, other students transfer credits from their home country universities and other students attend graduate degree programs at EMU. Students who receive undergraduate degrees at Eastern Michigan University often continue their graduate academic studies at the University of Michigan. EMU is the most popular university for MLC students to attend because of the quality of education at EMU as well as its location. Many students continue to live in Ann Arbor while attending EMU. EMU offers a qualified MLC student a conditional letter of acceptance.
