: About the ESL Program |
|
|
Established in 1975, the International Education Programs (IEP) at the University of California, Riverside (UCR) provides non-native English-speaking students with high-quality language instruction to help them attain their personal, academic, and professional goals. Students enrolled in the IEP experience a curriculum designed to improve their reading, writing, conversation, and grammar skills, as well as to enhance their cultural understanding, in preparation for entering a degree program, either at the University of California, Riverside or at other equally prestigious American colleges or universities. The IEP allows students to concentrate on developing their English skills while experiencing the rich culture of a university community. Students gain access to UCR campus facilities and enjoy using the university library, sports center, the student health center, and computer labs with Internet access. Since learning also takes place outside of the classroom, the IEP organizes various social activities to help their students grow accustomed to American culture and to put their newly-acquired English skills into practice. The IEP is a proud member of AAIEP, the American Associate of Intensive English Programs promoting professional standards and high-quality English programs.

Faculty Qualifications |
|
|
| IEP instructors are competent, friendly, dedicated professionals that have extensive experience in teaching international students; many have lived and taught abroad. The personal and academic qualities of IEP instructors make each uniquely qualified to offer meaningful language-learning opportunities and to care deeply about their students. |
|
|
|
| While attending the IEP, students have the opportunity to live in on-campus dormitories, off-campus residences or enjoy a homestay experience. Students living on-campus are close to classes, campus activities and other students - both American and international. IEP students have the opportunity to live off-campus at the International Village. Off-campus housing offers privacy for students who prefer a more independent lifestyle. The IEP also arranges homestays for those students who want to experience American culture as a member of a family and practice their English. Students are encouraged to make their housing arrangements as early as possible due to the limited amount of space available. The IEP may provide students with information about private off-campus apartments however it is the students' responsibility to make their individual arrangements. For more information, use the Contact Address to ask the school directly. |

| The University campus is located in the safe, friendly city of Riverside, a picturesque region of California with a small-town atmosphere that offers big-city services. Once known for its countless citrus groves, palm tree-lined avenues, and subtropical shade trees, Riverside remains a beautiful oasis in the inland area of Southern California. Recently identified as an "All-American City" along with only 9 other cities across the United States, Riverside is a vibrant, culturally diverse center for commerce, finance, industry, and education. With its active visual and performance arts communities, concert venues, fine restaurants, unique shops, and a wide variety of sports and outdoor recreational activities, life in Riverside is dynamic, comfortable, and enjoyable. Residents enjoy the region's warm and dry climate with cool evenings and temperatures averaging from 24ｰC to 27ｰC. Riverside's summers can get as hot as 34ｰC while winters can reach as low as 3ｰC. The city is located in the heart of Riverside County, a region with a population of 1.5 million people and bordering the densely populated counties of Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, and San Bernardino. Riverside is an easy 1-hour drive from the city of Los Angeles, beautiful Pacific Ocean beaches and mountain ski resorts, as well as popular attractions including Disneyland, Universal Studios, and Hollywood, the movie capital of the world. |
