Your Academic Experience

 

Academics at UCLA Anderson are true to the school’s unique culture. You will be expected to collaborate in diverse teams and engage in lively class discussions every day. You’ll find the highly interactive academic experience helps you sharpen the skills you'll need to work with peers throughout your career.

Preparing to Succeed

 

Business school academics are challenging for all students, but they can be especially challenging when you are getting used to speaking and writing in a language that is not your first. Make a plan to start practicing your English skills now, before school begins, so that you feel more comfortable when you arrive.

The Dashew Center has great resources for further developing your English skills, check them out on their site here. Additionally, below you can find resources on acclimating to the academic environment in the U.S. We also encourage you to seek out your own preparation methods. Even watching English television, reading English periodicals or conversing with your friends in English will help!
