Since 1980, our expert teachers have prepared thousands of students to succeed in full-time study at English-speaking universities, advance in careers that require English fluency, or simply increase and polish their English language proficiency.
CIES is a small school. No more than 150 students are enrolled every session so that teachers can work personally with each one. Because we are small, you will be able to make friends easily with students from all over the world. You will become part of the family at CIES.
CIES is part of a major American university (Florida State is ranked as one of the USA's "Top 100 research universities"), and we are located in the capital city of Florida - Tallahassee. The mild climate and safe community make it an ideal place to study, learn, and live.
We invite you to apply to the Center for Intensive English Studies. Please visit our web pages and, if you have any questions, contact us by email or phone. You will receive information from CIES immediately.
CIES' Intensive English Program is accredited by the Commission on English Language Program Accreditation (CEA) for the period December 2018 through December 2023 and agrees to uphold the CEA Standards for English Language Programs and Institutions.
