Application and Cost
Georgetown College is a highly selective liberal arts college and we see every IEP student as a possible graduate from one of our many prestigious programs. Therefore, we carefully select our IEP students to ensure that they can succeed in a rigorous academic environment.
Acceptance into Georgetown College IEP is based upon a demonstrated ability to complete the program in one year or less. For example: high school course work in English, significant time spent in an English speaking country, attendance at an English language school, or self-study.
Program Requirements
In order to be considered for enrollment in Georgetown College IEP, a student must:
- Complete an application for enrollment.
- Provide official transcripts of high school and, if applicable, college work.
- Provide proof of financial resources.
- Have some English background. For example: a semester or more of English as a foreign language, experience living in or visiting an English speaking country, or familiarity of English through self-study.
