Gain the fluency in English you need to succeed.

The Intensive English Language Institute at Worcester State University helps non-native English speakers gain language and social literacy. The institute offers students the opportunity to attain English language fluency and U.S cultural competencies to succeed in college or university studies, advance professionally, and reach personal goals.

IELI was founded in the summer of 1999, to provide:

  • An intensive full-time English language study option for international students to prepare for college entrance in the United States
  • Part-time English language classes for working professionals in the central Massachusetts area

IELI is part of Worcester State’s Division of Graduate and Continuing Education.

The University’s student body includes recent immigrants living in the greater Worcester region and individuals on a variety of visas, including F-1 student visas. The institute is dedicated to teaching students from 100+ countries who range in age from 16 – 70 years old.

Worcester State is accredited by the New England Commission on Higher Education, Inc. (NECHE), formerly the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), and the University Continuing Education Association.

Learn English effectively and cost-efficiently when you join a program.

The Intensive English Language Institute offers Worcester State students two study options, and tutoring services.

Choose from part-time English-language classes to improve your English for work, education, and general fluency.

Intensive ESL Program
