Intensive English Program

Welcome
 

The Wilkes University Intensive English Program (IEP) lets international students immerse themselves in English language instruction and American culture. Attend intensive English classes six hours a day, five days a week. 
Live with American students on a small campus located in a small, safe city with easy access to New York and Philadelphia.  

Choose a 15-week program offered during the university’s fall or spring semester, or a 10-week summer program. Study reading, writing, listening, speaking, grammar, conversation and TOEFL iBT preparation. Two hours each day are required in the computer lab, where students work independently with a variety of software. The IEP also offers a Bridge Program to Undergraduate Students in level 5, who can take one Wilkes University credit class. 

The IEP curriculum prepares international students to study at American universities and to improve their English for future studies. The approach is rigorous, and academic English is emphasized.  The IEP encourages students to work closely together and take advantage of exceptional learning opportunities.  The use of project based learning gets students active in the Wilkes Community, while developing a more in depth cultural awareness. In our small classes, students participate actively and receive individualize attention not found in larger programs. Kimberly Niezgoda, Assistant Director for the Wilkes Intensive English Program hopes to welcome you to the learning adventure of a lifetime.
