LEARN TO USE ENGLISH WITH CONFIDENCE


Welcome to the ESL Bridge program at SUNY Plattsburgh!

ESL (English as a Second Language) Bridge Program


The ESL Bridge program helps students who are English learners improve their speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills before enrolling in full-time academic study.
