Fast Track to UNT
To help students get started sooner at UNT, IELI now offers the course, “Fast Track to the University of North Texas.” This course is designed to get students through Levels 5 and 6 in ten weeks in summer so they meet the English proficiency requirement. Students participate in 25 hours of class and 10 hours of guided work each week so they can begin their undergraduate or graduate studies in the fall at UNT.
