The Intensive English Language Program (IELP) is a full-time program focusing on English language skills for non-native speakers. IELP is designed for students who wish to improve their English in order to gain admission to an American college or university and also for those who need to use fluent English in their professional lives. Classes are communicative, integrating all language skills, and
are taught at the pre-intermediate, intermediate, and advanced levels. There are 20 instructional hours per week. Cultural and educational activities and speakers are added to expand each student’s ability to use English in a variety of situations. IELP runs year round, concurrent with the University’s 16-week fall/spring semesters and 8-week summer session.
