Mt. San Antonio College's VESL programs are nationally recognized for excellence. They combine non-credit with credit courses to help advanced ESL students move into college credit programs for certificates and degrees. Learner groups enroll in a cluster of courses taught by ESL and credit department faculty.

VESL: CAREER PATHS

VESL offers you a way to continue improving your advanced English speaking and writing skills while also gaining proficiency in computers, college and business vocabulary, and career planning. It is a two-semester program, and you may join the morning or the evening program. When you pass the courses for these two semesters, you will have successfully earned 8 to 12 of 'credit by examination'. By continuing your education at Mt. SAC, you can transfer these units onto your permanent Mt. SAC record of units earned. In order to earn a VESL certificate, students must successfully pass all courses in the VESL program.

First Semester: Advanced Speaking, Advanced Writing, Beginning Keyboarding, and Career Planning

Second Semester: Microcomputer Applications, English (credit or noncredit), and an elective course of your choice (credit or noncredit)
