Founded in 1973, Associates in Cultural Exchange (A.C.E.) is an educational non-profit organization dedicated to providing outstanding language education and cross-cultural training. With offices located around the world and a wide array of programs offered at 2 different locations, A.C.E. is recognized as leaders in the areas of English as a second language training, foreign language acquisition programs and international education development. Since its founding, A.C.E. has helped tens of thousands of students from around the world achieve their English-speaking dreams by studying at A.C.E.’s language institutes at Montana State University (MSU) and Seattle Pacific University (SPU). Students are challenged by A.C.E.’s rigorous curriculum designed to prepare them for academic study at an American college or university. Students studying at the highest level, Level 6, complement their studies by attending regular university classes with American students and experience studying at the university level. After successfully completing the A.C.E. advanced level, students may enter MSU or SPU without the TOEFL. Outside of the classroom, A.C.E. staff organizes weekly activities for students to practice their English outside of the classroom and experience American culture. http://www.teachingquran.com/registration.php

I'd go with University of Washington, no doubt. It has the #1 ranked clinical psychology program in the country and #13 in general psychology. Beyond that, it has better a better "national brand." That is, outside of the Pacific Northwest many people have not heard of Seattle Pacific University whereas everyone knows that University of Washington is a very good school.
