English as a Second Language Academy

After 14 years of serving international students in their journey to degree-seeking studies, the ESL Academy at the University of Colorado Denver will be closing its doors at the end of 2026. We have touched thousands of students' lives, and we know that they will always have a special place in their hearts for the ESL Academy. Unfortunately, reduced enrollments have made it necessary to close the program. We hope that international education will return to what it was in the past, and the ESL Academy will be able to reopen to continue the mission of preparing students for university studies.
