Intensive English Language Program

Program Description

The University of Findlay's Intensive English Language Program (IELP) prides itself on building students' English skills. Nationally accredited by the Commission on English Language Accreditation, Findlay's on-campus program ​is unique and services a diverse student body. Their faculty will prepare students with the necessary English skills and study strategies to be successful in their undergraduate and graduate courses. Special courses for both areas are offered each semester to prepare students for their respective area of study.

Findlay is only the second university in Ohio to receive the 10-year status and one of seven IELP programs in Ohio to be accredited by CEA.​ For students who would like to improve their English proficiency or if their TOEFL or IELTS test score is lower than the admission criteria of the program they are applying to at Findlay, they can enroll in the Intensive English Langauge Program. Undergraduate students are required to submit either a Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or International English Language Testing System (IELTS) test score as part of their application to the University of Findlay. Their score will determine if they "test out" of Intensive English Language Program (IELP) and can be directly admitted into their undergraduate or graduate program.

Students who do not meet the English test score requirements for their desired program will automatically be given conditional admission through this program.
