Intensive English Program

Our Mission

Through the University of Dayton's Intensive English Program, students benefit from a concentrated and intense language program combined with a true American university experience. The University of Dayton’s Intensive English Program aims to introduce language learners to the American culture through continuous interaction with American and foreign students on campus. Through field trips, our Conversation Groups program, intercultural living communities, and involvement in student clubs on campus, our students develop strong English skills preparing them for the university classroom or the work place.

We strive to

• provide quality instruction and advising that will enable IEP students to develop the English language skills, cultural competencies and conventions necessary for success in American academic contexts;
• encourage and facilitate participation of IEP students in the broader University of Dayton experience; and
• assist in the internationalization of the University of Dayton by establishing strong relationships with other university units in order to assist them in recognizing and adapting to the needs of international students as well as to the benefits that they bring to campus.
