Intensive English Program

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. UD’s Intensive English Program aims to introduce language learners to the American culture through continuous interaction with American and foreign students on campus. Through programming, our conversation partner 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.

Global Learning Living Community

The Global Learning Living Community (formerly the International Learning Living Community) is a group of undergraduate students, both U.S. and international, who have chosen to live together in an international learning environment. Beginning fall 2012, the Global Learning Living Community (GLLC) will move locations to the new Caldwell Street Apartments. Residents participate in international dinners, panel discussions with faculty members, and off-campus excursions as they explore the cultures of countries across the world and within the U.S.

GLLC participants are immersed in a community that fosters the development of a continuous global conversation. These students share a common passion for international awareness in their own lives and strive to bring that awareness to the rest of the University community.

The GLLC aims to:

• Cultivate intercultural competence and sensitivity among residents.
• Educate residents for global citizenship through scholarship and collective inquiry.
• Foster relationship development among residents from different cultural backgrounds
