Focus of Study :
Pierce College's Intensive English Program provides an excellent way to learn English quickly. It is a first-rate program with dedicated, qualified, and dynamic instructors who love teaching international students.
Curriculum :
Full-time IEP students study English for 20 hours per week, Monday through Friday. The program is divided into four levels of instruction, from beginner to advanced. Classes are offered in grammar, writing, reading, listening and speaking. The sessions run for 10 weeks, but students may register for fewer weeks. (Students who do not enroll in a full session will have their tuition and fees pro-rated.) Many students need just one quarter in the IEP before they are ready to enter regular college classes. However, some may need three to six quarters to complete the program, depending on the above variables and other factors.
