Intensive English Program (IEP)

Loyola’s ELLP curriculum is a full-time certificate-based non-credit program. We offer various proficiency levels
- Intermediate
- High Intermediate
- Advanced/Bridge
All new students take our ELLP Placement Test the week before class begins to determine their level. All levels are one full semester (16 weeks) each.
Students progress from one level to the next by earning an 87% (B+) or higher within each level of classes. Upon successful completion of all ESL classes and ELLP requirements, students who have applied to Loyola University Chicago for undergraduate study (and for some graduate programs) as part of the International Conditional Admission Program (ICAP) are eligible to use their successful ELLP completion as a substitute for the TOEFL/IELTS score requirement.
