The ALI's Intensive English Program (IEP) has small classes and dedicated instructors and staff. Whether your studies are for personal, academic or professional purposes, classes are designed for success in English fluency and for your cultural enrichment.
Many academic units at UMKC will accept completion of the ALI's level 4 (undergraduate) or level 5 (graduate) in place of English proficiency scores. Many of these same academic units will also offer conditional admission when you apply. Check out our Conditional Admission page to learn which units offer conditional admission.
