IELP Community Site

The Intensive English Language Program (IELP) is a fully integrated department of Portland State University (PSU).

The IELP is here to help you improve your English for:

enrolling in a degree program at an American university
for personal growth
or for professional reasons

IELP students benefit from access to all of the extracurricular activities, services, and resources available to PSU university students. For example, IELP students can:

join student clubs
live in a residence hall
use the library, computer labs, and recreation center

Additionally, students who successfully complete the Pathway Program fulfill PSU’s language proficiency requirement for undergraduate admission.
