Intensive English Program

Description

The IEP is part of Cornell University and students participate in campus life and activities. The university is located in Ithaca, New York, a small, pleasant, and surprisingly cosmopolitan city of 29,000 in the heart of the New York State's Finger Lakes region. This is an area of great natural beauty. The university and community also offer cultural activities usually available online in much larger cities. Ithaca combines small-town convenience and security with large-city atmosphere.

The Intensive English Program provides full-time intensive English language instruction as well as academic, social, and cultural orientation to the United States. The aim of the program is for you to improve your language skills in order to achieve your goal, whether it is to study English for academic, business, professional, or personal reasons. There are three programs each year. Spring and fall semesters are 14 weeks long; summer session is 6 weeks.
