In the Intensive English Program, we provide quality instruction to adults who wish to improve their proficiency in English. We offer full-time 15-week programs in the fall and spring semesters and an 8-week program in the summer.

Please note that we do not offer beginning-level instruction.  Our classes begin at the intermediate level.

As a student you will learn to:

  • speak accurately and fluently.
  • express your ideas in writing.
  • understand lectures and informal speech.
  • read efficiently and quickly.
  • become confident in your English.
