Since 1972, IELI has created a supportive and engaging environment that promotes the development of linguistic and academic skills and intercultural competence necessary for international students, scholars and professionals to be successful in their academic pursuits at USU and become independent citizens and leaders in a constantly changing world.

Utah State is recognized for the interaction between professors and students. Most students will find professors accessible, both to answer questions and give advice. 

Learning at Utah State is an exciting mixture of coursework in the classroom combined with hands-on learning in special research projects, internships, meaningful employment opportunities and special programs to allow students to apply their classroom experience to real-world situations.

Students who successfully complete the intensive English program need not submit a TOEFL score for either graduate or undergraduate admission to Utah State University (USU).
