BA English Language Studies (ELS) is a new program that MSU-IIT's English Department transitioned to in 2018. Our freshmen students were loaded with questions about the program and doubts about whether or not they made the right choice. We knew we had to do something about it. What ELS? is produced by the AB English Organization to answer those questions and reveal stories and ideas about the program, about college, and especially about the intricate world of linguistics.

Join us in the discovery!
