About the Academic IEP

The Intensive English Program (IEP) at NC State University is more than an English language program. Our academic English students build a strong foundation in academic, cultural, and technological skills that prepare them for life in and out of the American classroom. We currently offer three levels of instruction in person – Intermediate through Advanced.

Additionally, as the only university-based intensive academic English program in the Triangle area, the IEP at NC State provides full- and part-time, non-credit English language courses for international visitors, as well as local citizens and businesses. For further details, please visit our English Language Study, Part-time Enrollment, and Custom Designed Programs webpages.
