Intensive English Programs

The English Language Institute was created for non-native speakers of English who wish to improve English language skills for professional purposes or to meet college entrance requirements.

There are three programs --- the Intensive, Semi-Intensive and Specific Skills English Programs. The Intensive English Program (IEP 123) is a 300-hour program over 15 weeks with 20 hours of classes, including language laboratory, each week.

Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced Classes are limited to 20 students each, covering these four basic skills twice each week:

• Conversation & Listening
• Grammar
• Reading & Vocabulary
• Writing

Students who are enrolled in this program qualify for F-1 student visas. Tuition is $2,160.

The Semi-Intensive English Program (IEP 123/A) involves half the workload of the Intensive English Program over the same 15-week cycle. Students pursue any two of the four skills featured in the Intensive English Program. Tuition is $1,080.

The Specific Skills English Program (IEP 123/B) isolates a single skill area in the Intensive English Program. Students target one of the four skills for 15 weeks. The program is especially valuable for non-native speakers of English with a specific area of weakness in their English language skills.
Tuition is $540.
