For more than 50 years, the University of Miami Intensive English Program has provided a home away from home for international students from all over the world. The Intensive English Program prepares international students for academic study in the United States and for effective communication in professional environments. The mission of the University of Miami Intensive English Program is to prepare international students to enter a university in the U.S. by providing instruction in English language and academic study skills. The IEP also helps its international students adapt to university life and American culture through a wealth of activities both inside and outside the classroom. The program facilitates intercultural understanding, offers support and guidance related to non-academic issues, and builds ease and confidence in a new culture.
