English for Academic and Professional Purposes
In the first year, Newcomb-Tulane College students should complete one of the following courses: ENGL 1010 or ENGL 1011. If an AP score of 4 or 5 on the English Advanced Placement (AP) examination or a 6 or higher on the English International Baccalaureate (IB) examination is earned, the student will earn credit for ENGL 1010. Students who earn AP or IB credit for ENGL 1010, should enroll in a Tier-1 Writing Course in the first year.
The typical pattern for international students is to take the online placement program in the summer, EAPP 1000 and EAPP 1050 in the Fall, and ENGL 1011 in the Spring. However, excellent performance in the placement program can waive some of those courses at the discretion of the English for Academic and Professional Purposes Program. Completing this series allows students to meet two core requirements while satisfying their Tier-1 Writing Course.
International students are required to participate in an online placement program, “American Academic English” in the summer before arrival. The online program can be completed from home and requires participants to spend approximately two hours to complete the writing requirements. The program is designed to place international students into the writing, public speaking, and English classes, which will give them the best chance of success at Tulane while also giving them an advanced support system.
International students take Composition and Reading in a Global Context (EAPP 1000) and Multicultural Speech (EAPP 1050) their first semester to maximize their academic success. EAPP 1000 fulfills the Global Discourse core requirement, and EAPP 1050 fulfills the Race and Inclusion core requirement. Writing (ENGL 1010) and Writing for Academic Purposes (ENGL 1011) fulfill the Tier-1 Writing Requirement, and students are placed into one based on which is predicted to benefit them most. Most take ENGL 1011 in the Spring. ENGL 1011, “Writing for Academic Purposes,” is focused on the unique skills and particular needs shared by many international students. Any international student who brings in Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate credit for ENGL 1010 must take a Tier-1 Writing Course.
Students in the Tulane Advantage program must take EAPP 1000 and 1050 in the Fall, followed by ENGL 1011 in the Spring. Students can contact the English for Academic and Professional Purposes program for more information at LearnEng@tulane.edu
