English/ESL Courses
Deciding on what ESL or English class is right for you is an important decision. We are happy to assist you in making academic choices that will help you achieve your goals.
Please note: As of Fall 2025, the State of California is implementing common course numbering throughout the community college system, resulting in the change of some course titles.
- English 101 is now ENGL C1000
