In addition to language skills, students become familiarized with academic teaching styles, teaching methods and classroom expectations common to most U.S. university environments. The IEP also works to foster student involvement in campus and community events and activities at Emporia State University.

Vision

The Intensive English Program (IEP) will be the first college experience for English learners by providing language immersion and fostering involvement in the Emporia State University campus and community.
