  • Group lessons: learning in international classes with students from around the world.
  • Combined programs: group lessons plus one-to-one sessions to close gaps quickly.
  • Exam preparation: courses for exams such as TOEFL, IELTS, SAT and GRE.
  • Junior and summer programs: short programs combining lessons and activities.

How Long Do Language Courses in Milwaukee Take?

In Milwaukee you can book short courses of 1-2 weeks. On an intensive program, one English level usually takes 8-12 weeks. Reaching the TOEFL score American universities ask for usually needs a 6-12 month plan, depending on your starting level.

Language School Prices and Discounts in Milwaukee

The biggest factor in the price is the length of your booking: the weekly fee drops noticeably for bookings of 12 weeks or more. Besides tuition, budget for items such as the registration fee, materials and the I-20 document fee for an F-1 visa. NGGlobal students can take advantage of the schools' seasonal offers.

Admission Requirements for Language Schools in Milwaukee

  • A copy of your passport and a completed enrolment form
  • A deposit or full payment of the course fee
  • Proof of funds for long programs (bank statement or sponsor letter)
  • Parental consent for participants under 18

Application Periods and Start Dates in Milwaukee

At most language schools courses start every Monday, though some programs have set start dates. Because US visa appointment waiting times can be long, we recommend applying for long programs at least 4-6 months ahead.

Visa for Language Schools in Milwaukee

Long-term, intensive language study requires an F-1 visa. The application calls for the school's I-20, the SEVIS fee receipt, the DS-160 form, proof of funds and documents showing your ties to Turkey. Visa interviews take place at the embassy in Ankara or the consulate general in Istanbul.

Working While Studying a Language in Milwaukee

Opportunities to work in America during language study are almost non-existent, and working in breach of visa rules can lead to visa cancellation and refusal of future applications. Prepare a budget that covers your course and living costs from the start.

Accommodation Options in Milwaukee

  • Homestay: live with an American family and practise English at home too; breakfast or half board is usually included.
  • Student residence: ideal for meeting other students.
  • Shared apartment: a more independent option for longer stays.

Homestays and campus housing are the most common accommodation options in Milwaukee.
