American Language Program

Students Ohio Stadium

The Ohio State University’s intensive English program, the American Language Program (ALP), was founded in 1983. ALP is designed to serve graduate, undergraduate, and professional students who are improving their English proficiency in order to gain admission to an academic degree program, either at Ohio State or another higher education institution. Other students seeking a quality English learning experience for professional or personal reasons may also enroll in ALP.

Ohio State ranks among the top 10 destinations for international students in the United States, enrolling over 6000 students from more than 110 countries. Our goal at ALP is to support you as you meet your English learning goals, and as you experience university life and American culture.

Our Approach: ALP students learn through theme-based, integrated skills units and by their active participation in the university and wider community.
