English Language Center
The University of Wyoming’s English Language Center (ELC) helps non-native speakers build the academic and professional English skills needed for success in higher education. Our Intensive English Program (IEP) offers immersive, 15-week courses with 18-20 hours of instruction per week in grammar, writing, speaking and more. The IEP requires a separate application as a full-time, non-degree-seeking student. Admissions, tuition and financial requirements differ from UW’s regular process.
