Short Term English Program (STEP) is a multi-skills General English course designed for students on a visa waiver, tourist visa or a visa other than F-1 student visa. Classes are Tuesday to Friday.

STEP is a dynamic course based on internationally-recognized goals and standards developed by CEFR and University of Cambridge. Focusing on real life communication, students acquire the full-range of skills and knowledge, including listening, speaking, reading, writing, vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. Students see their progress clearly and easily through "Can Do" statements showing the mastering of certain communicative tasks at the end of each week. Each course is made up of two periods, taught by a separate teacher.
