Adult Summer Program at UCLA
The adult program at UCLA is not running in 2027. This summer ELC runs junior programs only.
Live on the UCLA campus, study English
Live on campus at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and study English with the English Language Center (ELC) at our UCLA Adult Summer Campus Program. Our program is offered during the summer months of July and August and allows students to combine living in a residence hall on campus with one of our General English or Test Preparation Courses. Students attend morning ELC English classes Monday through Friday on campus in UCLA classrooms. This is the perfect way to improve your English skills and have an authentic UCLA experience. UCLA is a top-tier, world-famous research university in trendy Westwood Village, close to many restaurants, cafes, and shops, with a nearly 500-acre tree-lined campus, its own sports stadium, tennis center, and fitness center. Students live in a residence hall on campus close to swimming pools, basketball courts, tennis courts, outdoor fields and a fitness center, with access to the UCLA Ackerman student center and the student bookstore, placed in rooms with other international students from more than 20 different countries. ELC support staff live on campus with students to provide information and assist them with their needs.
- Student lounge, campus center, library, and fitness center

The program in brief
Living on campus
Students stayed in the Dykstra Residence Hall on the UCLA campus: shared, double rooms furnished with closets, desks, and beds, with weekly maid service, laundry facilities on each floor, and a shared bathroom. Arrival was on the Saturday before the course and departure on the Saturday after. The dormitory was about a 10-minute walk to the ELC classrooms on campus, or about a 25-minute walk (or a short bus ride) to ELC's main location in Westwood Village.
What students study
A 20-lesson-a-week General English course on the UCLA campus, covering grammar, listening comprehension, and conversation, for low beginner to proficiency levels.
