About SAL

Studies in American Language, known as SAL, opened as the intensive English language program at San José State University in 1975.

Since that day, thousands of international students from around the world have joined SAL's small classes to improve their English skills for academic, professional, or personal reasons.

Our professional faculty is dedicated to creating the best possible classroom learning environment.

Our academic advisors guide students through applications and transfers to San José State and our local community colleges.

Our international office staff provides full orientation and support to international students on campus and in our community.
