Intensive English Program
Admission Requirements

Admission to the Intensive English Program (IEP) is open to non-native English speakers* who have completed secondary school and have already acquired low-intermediate level English proficiency. Applicants must complete our International Application and those needing an F-1 visa must submit immigration documents (see below).

Please note:

• Start dates and deadlines to apply
• Intensive English Program (IEP) costs
• Applicants must be at least 17 years of age at the program start time
• Admission to the Intensive English Program does not constitute admission to SNHU for academic study; academic admission requires direct application to your program. See our International Admission Requirements.
• International students are required to purchase medical insurance from SNHU for the duration of their program.

To apply:

• Complete our online International Application and pay a $40 application fee.
• Applicants needing an F-1 visa must submit proof of financial support and a copy of the passport must also be submitted to intugdocs@snhu.edu. For required financial amounts, see our International Admission Requirements.
