English Language Program at Kansas State University The English Language Program is an intensive language program associated with Kansas State University

The mission of the English Language Program is to serve Kansas State University by:

- offering a full range of intensive English classes,
- assessing language proficiency,
- orienting students to American culture and the academic environment,
- providing academic and personal advising,
- facilitating students' transition to degree programs through support courses,
- developing special programs for short-term, exchange, and international partners, and
- contributing expertise to outreach and engagement initiatives in support of the university mission. The program is a member of UCIEP (the Consortium of University and College English Language Programs) and EnglishUSA. The ELP is also accredited by CEA (Commission on English Language Program Accreditation), which is “the only specialized accrediting agency for English language programs and institutions in the U.S.” The ELP recently received 10-year re-accreditation from CEA. The English Language Program's (ELP) primary purpose is to provide English instruction to students who are qualified to begin university work but do not meet English proficiency standards for the university. The program also offers English instruction to international students who choose to come for language training only or as a study abroad experience.
