Intensive English Programs

There are two types of Intensive English Programs: privately-owned and school-owned.
 

Privately-owned English programs may either be located in the downtown areas of large cities or on college/ university campuses. Privately-owned Intensive English Programs offer several program choices, including academic preparation programs for college-bound students. These programs also offer housing placement and weekly activities.

School-owned Intensive English Programs are based on college or university campuses. They are primarily designed to prepare students for certificate and degree programs. They may offer students the opportunity to attend academic classes concurrently or receive college credit for their advanced level classes.

Many AEP Partner Intensive English Programs can help academically-qualified students get conditional admission to colleges and universities before they reach the necessary English level.

Starting terms: Varies by program. Most college and university programs have starting dates in the Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer. Most privately-owned programs have starting dates every month.
When to apply: Applications accepted year-round, but allow at least 2 months before your preferred starting date.
General Admission requirements: Proof of sufficient financial support
Visa type required: F-1 Student Visa

(Note: F-1 Visa may not be required for some short-term English language programs. Ask an AEP Advisor for details and conditions)
