  • About the ESL Program
  • Whether your goals are academic, professional, or personal, Boise State University’s Intensive English Program provides many paths to your success.
    
    In addition to a strong academic focus, the IEP offers an innovative approach to learning. The staff strongly believes that learning happens both inside of the classroom and out in the local community. It certainly happens outside of a textbook. That is why the IEP provides many learning opportunities for you to share experiences with both your international classmates and American students. You will also have the chance to volunteer in the community, immerse yourself in the local culture and practice your English in meaningful, real-world situations.
