Intensive English Program (IEP)

The Intensive English Program is a full-time, pre-academic and bridge program which fosters cross-cultural exchange by providing English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction to non-English speaking students in preparation for study at CBU. In particular, ESL takes place in a classroom setting, collaborating with International Student Services (ISS) on co-curricular activities outside of the classroom.

Further information on the Intensive English Program  course progression and ESL courses can be located in the Academic Programs section of this catalog.
