Mission: Middlesex Community College’s Intensive English Institute provides rigorous English instruction and cultural training necessary for success in higher education in the United States. The IEI is committed to the goal of delivering quality evidence-based curriculum, informed by research and designed to prepare non-native speakers of English for the academic language needed for positive outcomes in pursuit of their own higher educational experiences in the U.S.A. The IEI considers its role as a contributor to MCC’s mission and vision by offering academic excellence and transforming lives through educational and career opportunities for all members of our community. We empower all learners to become productive and socially responsible members of our local and global communities.
