Intensive English Center

The Intensive English Center (IEC) provides English as a second language for international students planning to study in an American college or university. The program also welcomes professionals, business executives, and others who wish to increase their knowledge of English. Specialized day or evening programs can be designed to meet the needs of individualized groups.

Two eight-week intensive English sessions are held during the fall and spring semesters. Two five-week sessions are offered during the summer. Classes are scheduled Monday through Thursday and generally have 10 to 15 students per class. Full-time students study 25 hours per week in a multi-level program. Curriculum at each level includes courses in:

  • English Structure
  • Listening Comprehension
  • Speaking/Pronunciation Skills
  • Reading Development
  • Writing Analysis
  • Language Lab

Courses in TOEFL preparation are offered twice each semester during the evening hours. A semi-intensive program, which may include enrollment in University and/or English language credit courses, is available for students who have achieved sufficient progress at the advanced level. A language laboratory with computer-assisted instruction provides individualized learning for all IEC students.

English Language Credit Division

English language credit courses are offered through the Intensive English Center. Language improvement courses taken at the beginning of a student's academic study will provide the student with an opportunity to learn the skills necessary for academic success. A student may apply up to nine hours of English language courses toward graduation requirements if the student's program of study permits free electives. The English language credit division includes courses in:

  • Pronunciation and Listening Comprehension
  • Academic Conversation and Discussion
  • Reading Development
  • Advanced Reading
