English Classes

The IEP helps students learn English, whether they wish to learn for business or social purposes or to prepare for regular enrollment and degree program study at Western and other American colleges and universities.

Our language courses help students improve their spoken and written English through classroom work and interactions with Americans on campus and in the community.

IEP students are able to use all the resources of Western Washington University: the library, recreation center, student union, health center, outdoor playing fields, and the Lakewood boating facility. Our offices and all of our classrooms are on campus, and IEP students are well integrated into university life.

The IEP is a member of the American Association of Intensive English Programs (AAIEP).
