International Student & Scholar Services

Intensive English Language Program

The Intensive English Language Program (IELP) is designed for students who wish to improve their English language skills for academic and professional reasons. Classes are communicative, integrating all language skills, and are taught at the beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels.

In addition to the core program, English classes are offered for UAlbany matriculated undergraduate and graduate international students. Click on the link to ESL Courses for University Students on the IELP website for courses on oral communication and academic writing.

The offering of these courses is contingent upon sufficient enrollment. These courses are non-credit, but carry a 3 credit hour load equivalency for F-1 status.

For further information, contact IELP by phone at (518) 437-5040 or by e-mail at
