George Brown Polytechnic is located on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and other Indigenous peoples who have lived here over time. We are grateful to share this land as treaty people who learn, work and live in the community with each other.
Please note: The EAP program is no longer accepting Domestic (R105) or International (R115) program applicants.
George Brown’s General Arts and Science - English for Academic Purposes (EAP) offers two program streams - one for Domestic students and the other for International students. Students then progress through the levels, adding to their reading, writing, listening, speaking and grammar skills.

The EAP program runs from 9 am to 1 pm daily with most classes offered either in-person or online.
