PELS COURSES
PELS courses are offered to all students, including domestic and international multilingual, and multidialectal students enrolled in a graduate degree at FAU. Our courses help students succeed in their current courses, research papers, theses and dissertations, articles for publication, grant proposals, and even graduate and workplace applications. PELS courses are free and, although not required, are self-selected by students who want to excel in their writing and oral skills. Students work in small cohorts of peers, under the guidance of an experienced instructor, on their current or upcoming projects, and make progress towards their degree goals.
If you have any questions on PELS courses please email Dr. Claudia Amadori.
