International applications should be submitted as soon as possible, to allow sufficient time for the application review and visa processes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Each semester, 40-60 students representing 15 to 20 different countries receive personal attention in one-on-one and small-group settings.

Students can also gain admittance to EMU, other Mennonite colleges in the United States, or the nearby James Madison University based solely on the recommendation of IEP.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Courses include listening, speaking and vocabulary; grammar; integrated skills; and reading, writing and research.
