Bridges is an English language outreach program for adults in the Sioux Falls community. It is hosted by the University of Sioux Falls and funded in collaboration with Forward Sioux Falls*. Our English courses integrate reading, writing, listening and speaking for those who wish to increase their overall English proficiency through regular practice.
Classes meet twice a week and each class is 2.5 hours in length. Bridges offers different levels of instruction, available in morning or evening classes, to accommodate our students' learning needs and work schedules.
*Forward Sioux Falls is a collaboration between the Greater Sioux Falls Area Chamber of Commerce and the Sioux Falls Development Foundation.
Fall courses will begin August 18 and end on November 21, 2025. The cost for the entire semester is $100.
Bridges courses are not for college credit, so F-1 International Students are not eligible to enroll.
For questions or more information, contact Diane Van Den Oever, Bridges Director.
