Welcome! The Intensive English Program (IEP) at the University of Central Arkansas is an academic program in English as a foreign language for international students. It helps serious students acquire the skills needed to succeed in American colleges and universities. NO TOEFL score is required to begin your studies in the IEP!

The IEP has been in existence since 1992 and is dedicated to giving students the best instruction possible with its highly trained, dedicated faculty using the most up-to-date  instructional techniques in the field of language learning. After completing the program, most students begin their academic studies at UCA or other universities and colleges in the United States.

Please explore the pages of our website to learn more about our IEP family. We hope that the IEP can serve as the start of your higher education experience in the United States.
