The program is committed to providing students the necessary tools for admission to a university degree program. Skills in reading, writing, listening and speaking are critical to a successful entrance into the university community.
The curriculum is designed to develop communicative competence in writing and speaking – an emphasis reflected in the ELI Proficiency Battery, which includes a composition exam and an oral fluency exam.

Kaetsu University Partnership
The University of Southern Mississippi’s partnership with Kaetsu University in Tokyo, Japan, began in 1995.

Panama Partnership
Educational, cultural and economic development exchange opportunities with Panama emerged following a visit to the thriving Central American nation in 2009 by Southern Miss President Martha Saunders and other university representatives and supporters.
Memorandums of understanding with Panamanian university administrators during this visit led to the creation of the Panama Study-Abroad program, which launched in the summer of 2010 and provided important learning opportunities for Southern Miss students studying construction management and hospitality management.
