Cultural immersion
in higher education
Cultural immersion in a higher education environment is
a great way to improve your English language skills. The
English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program at the
Barrie Campus provides the necessary skills for students
to succeed in postsecondary education, work and life
in Canada. Georgian's eight-level program, accredited
by Languages Canada, is available to international and
domestic students alike.
