Program Mission

The mission of the Intensive English Program (IEP) is to provide the highest quality English-language instruction to speakers of other languages in order to meet their personal, academic or professional goals.

Intensive instruction in oral skills, listening comprehension, vocabulary development, reading, writing and grammar for both general and academic English is offered through a communicative approach. A goal of the IEP program is the understanding of American traditions and values for the cross-cultural perspective of our student population.

The IEP is committed to academic excellence, intercultural understanding, and attention to individual student needs and interests.
