Prepare for Transfer to American Universities
Green River College's Intensive English Program (IEP) helps prepare international students to study at American colleges and universities. The IEP offers small classes and personal attention from highly qualified instructors.

Our Intensive English faculty are highly qualified with Masters degrees and years of teaching experience. They speak other languages and are familiar with different cultures. Most importantly, they love teaching and helping students achieve their dreams. Check out our Faculty and Staff Bios
Starting fall 2021, our IEP teachers are offering the following:
- For students in the US, mostly in person with some virtual class sessions and office hours per week
- For overseas students
- Live zoom class sessions and office hours that are spread out during the week
- Recorded lessons that students can review repeatedly
- Assignments with feedback where students can communicate with their teachers
- Class interactions via discussion boards
- Group discussions and assignments in zoom breakout rooms
Our IEP Advisor is available "live" in her virtual advising room three days a week, and on campus for face-to-face appointments twice a week. She has regular checks-in with individual students for one-on-one meetings.
We also offer free additional online resources for self-study, as well as a weekly study hall with free tutoring which is open to all IEP students.

Transferred to:UC Berkeley BS, UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine
“After studying English (IEP) at Green River for a year, I then studied another 2 years in the academic program. In 2013, I transferred to UC Berkeley. I am now pursuing further education at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, the #1 School of veterinary medicine in the world. I cannot describe how much I appreciate Green River College. I would not have been able to make it this far without my time at GRC.”
