학교 소개

The IELP is part of Portland State University, a community-oriented urban university with a diverse student and teacher population. The IELP offers you full immersion and integration into PSU while you improve your English skills. Being part of a large university allows you to take advantage of campus resources. PSU is located in the heart of Portland, a beautiful, clean, and safe place to study and experience American culture. We offer intensive instruction in several programs that you can choose from. Your learning is supported by IELP Resources, such as a Learning Center, Conversation Partner Program, Tutors and Advisors. Our IELP Student Life Office organizes activities outside the classroom that help you make great friends and life-long connections with people. If you are an admitted PSU student without a TOEFL or IELTS score, we are your pathway program into PSU. You will be fully immersed in campus life while improving your English skills and preparing yourself for academic success. Once you’ve reached the advanced level, you have the opportunity to take one or two advisor-approved PSU classes before graduating from the IELP. This allows for a smooth transition into becoming a PSU student.
