Short-Term Programs
By request, the Iowa Intensive English Program may offer short-term
(3-8 weeks) programs of intensive English study for groups of university students
from other countries. These English language and orientation programs are developed
and tailored to meet both the desires of the students' home institution and
the needs of the students. By living in Iowa City, studying English four hours
each day, and living in the dormitory with U.S. students of the same age, these
students not only improve their language skills but also experience U.S. culture
in a unique way. Such programs provide numerous opportunities for students to
use their English and to experience the culture of the U.S. and of Iowa City
in particular. Many of the students have returned to The University of Iowa;
some come for further intensive English instruction, some for a year's exchange
program, and some for graduate study.
