Intensive English Program Heading link

For over 40 years, our non-credit Intensive English Program (IEP) has helped English language learners reach their academic, professional and personal goals.  Our IEP has been CEA accredited since December, 2001.

We serve serious students, aged 17 and older. Our students come from over 25 different countries. They work closely together, and learn from their instructors and each other.

Our students:

  • participate actively in the classroom
  • study a challenging curriculum with regular homework
  • improve speaking, listening, reading and writing skills
  • have fun and make new friends from around the world

Note: For all Tutorium on-campus classes, students are required to bring their own laptop. Read more about student technology requirements here.
