How to apply to the Intensive English Program (IEP)

You apply to the IEP with the WVU application. This page shows you each step.

Important: There is no separate IEP application right now. Use the WVU application. Follow the steps below.

Which program is right for me?

  • I want to study only English first.

    Choose IEP Conditional Admission

  • I want to study English and start university classes at the same time.

    Choose Regular Admission
    This is the English Language Pathway (ELP). WVU will use your English test score to place you.

  • My English test score is already high enough for WVU.

    Choose Regular Admission
    See the English test scores WVU accepts.

Steps to apply
