Outreach CollegeInternational Programs (non-credit)Krauss Hall 004 New Intensive Courses in English (NICE)Tel: (808) 956-7753 The NICE Program is a noncredit English language program open to non-native speakers of English interested in improving their oral communication and cross-cultural understanding. Study options include English courses for academic, business, and general purposes. Classes are offered to suit the study schedules of a variety of individuals: four 10-week sessions per year (full-time or part-time study), 3 sessions in winter and summer, and evening classes throughout the year. Admission to NICE is open to foreign students and scholars, and to resident non-native speakers living in Hawai‘i. Special English Programs (SEP)Tel: (808) 956-3416 SEP provides noncredit English language and American culture programs for groups of students from foreign educational institutions or companies. SEP is uniquely designed to suit the needs, schedules, requirements, and interests of the sponsoring school or organization. International SeminarsTel: (808) 956-3416 The International Seminars Program provides groups of foreign students and professionals exposure to current American perspectives and practices in their area of study or profession. Highly qualified professors and community professionals speak on topics requested by the sponsoring organization, with translation or in the participants’ native language. International Bridge ProgramKrauss Hall 101 The Bridge Program has been specifically designed to help students meet formal academic requirements for entry into graduate programs in the U.S. Bridge participants take a combination of credit and noncredit courses, and in some cases English as a Second Language classes, thus simultaneously gaining an orientation to study in the American university system. Working in partnership with other units of the UH, Bridge assists students in preparation for examinations such as the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), and the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT). The Bridge Program addresses other challenges for international students as well. Students with a three-year bachelor degree (3YB) common in their home countries are assisted in meeting four-year requirements that are generally considered standard for admission into U.S. graduate programs. Enrollment in the Bridge Program prepares students for acceptances into graduate programs, but does not guarantee automatic admission. The graduate admissions requirements are different for each U.S. university. At UH Manoa, the final decision for admission rests with the Dean of the Graduate Division, who takes into full consideration the recommendation of the chair of the selected field of study. Students who complete attendance and academic requirements receive an International Bridge Program certificate of completion. Professional and Special Programs (noncredit)Sakamaki D-400 The Professional and Special Programs Office establishes and administers
noncredit courses to provide individuals and groups with the opportunity
to maintain professional skills, advance in or change careers, or pursue
personal development and enrichment. Although noncredit courses do not
apply toward the requirements for a college degree, many do qualify for
professional continuing education units. Students who complete attendance
requirements may receive certificates upon completion of their courses
of study. Although most courses are offered during three regularly scheduled terms per year, specialized programs for particular groups (e.g., librarians, teachers, engineers, etc.) or contract training for both public and private organizations, can be arranged. Class length, number of meeting times, and locations vary, depending on program objectives and specific needs of students. Institute for Business and Professional DevelopmentTel: (808) 956-8244 The Institute for Business and Professional Development offers continuing education programs for business people, entrepreneurs, professionals, and those seeking to meet professional certification requirements, or to improve career opportunities.
