At America University's School of Professional and Extended Studies (SPExS) we offer a variety of interesting and exciting study abroad programs. Our Intensive English Language Program (IELP) offers students a number of flexible study options, such as a 14-week semester, a 7-week half-semester in the fall or spring and an 8-week summer session. All program options are designed to meet each student's individual language goals and effectively prepare them for future work, study, or general communication in English.
