ESL Intensive
The ESL Immersion at Santa Fe University of Art and Design (SFUAD) is an exceptional opportunity for LIU Network students to improve their English language skills in one of the most unique and picturesque cities in the U.S. Based on the experiential learning model, the Immersion supports participants in improving their English language skills with an interactive, student-centered approach.

For a true immersion experience, Immersion participants attend both Morning and Afternoon Sessions Monday through Thursday, and Friday Excursions.
