Language School Prices and Discounts in Wisconsin

Language school fees in Wisconsin depend on course intensity, the type of school and the length of your booking. The weekly price falls for longer bookings, and extra discounts apply for early bookings and promotions. Applying through NGGlobal lets you compare the schools' current offers in one place.

Admission Requirements for Language Schools in Wisconsin

Language schools do not require a diploma or any prior knowledge of the language. After you complete the enrolment form and pay the deposit, the school sends you a confirmation. For long programs, the school reviews your proof of funds, such as bank statements, and prepares the I-20 needed for an F-1 visa.

Application Periods and Start Dates in Wisconsin

June to August is the busiest time for both courses and accommodation, so booking early pays off. In autumn and winter, classes are quieter and accommodation is easier to find.

Visa for Language Schools in Wisconsin

Courses of more than 18 hours a week require an F-1 student visa. Once the school sends you the I-20, you pay the SEVIS fee and book a visa appointment at the US Embassy or a consulate. Short courses of fewer than 18 hours a week can be taken on a tourist (B-2) visa.

Working While Studying a Language in Wisconsin

Language students in America have very limited work rights: the F-1 visa does not allow off-campus work, and a tourist visa does not allow work at all. Once you move on to university, on-campus jobs and internship options open up.
