Intensive English Program (I.E.P)
DescriptionThe Juniata Intensive English Program focuses on rapidly improving English skills so that you may succeed in your studies or career. You will improve your oral skills so that you can communicate with confidence in English. You will also be introduced to the demands of study in an American university by increasing your reading speed, developing writing skills and refining study skills. Classes are small; we emphasize personal attention and help you to think in new ways about the world. Students develop personal relationships with professors, both in and out of the classroom, and participate fully in the life of the Juniata campus with American students, other international students, and faculty.
LocationJuniata is located in Huntingdon, a friendly town located in the heart of Pennsylvania. Surrounded by the beautiful Allegheny mountains, Huntingdon is a safe and relaxed environment only a few hours from the major cities of Washington DC, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Balitimore.
