Continuing Education students enroll in undergraduate and graduate courses offered by more than 40 academic departments in Arts and Sciences. Students may design their curriculum through the elective programs option, focus on a given subject through the foreign language, creative writing, and second majors programs, or enroll in a postbaccalaureate program to prepare for graduate school. Other options available through the School include the summer session; Master of Science in several disciplines; programs for high school students, and study abroad opportunities in China, France and Germany. The American Language Program has offered English-as-a-Second-Language instruction since 1911. Each year, students from more than 60 countries enroll in intensive full-time and part-time English Courses.
Lewisohn also houses the Language Resource Center and the Learning Center, a walk-in tutoring facility.
