Since 1979, the IELI at Creighton University has been helping students from different language backgrounds enhance their English skills. Core courses in grammar, writing, reading, and speaking/listening focus on academic language skills.
IELI classes meet four hours a day, Monday through Friday, between 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.; additionally, there are regularly-scheduled co-curricular activities outside of the classroom. The IELI has a full semester (17-week) session in the fall and spring, and an accelerated 9-week session in the summer with 4 levels: beginner, intermediate, high intermediate, and advanced.
