English Language Institute

Put your English Language learning into practice with ELI!

This program is ideal for international students who want to live in the United States on a student visa and for local community students who are looking for something more challenging than our General English program.

Since 1990, the English Language Institute, through our Intensive English Program, has been providing high-quality English Language instruction to students from around the world on the beautiful University of Utah campus. ELI offers its students not just the opportunity to learn English in an academic setting, but to also learn about American culture, make new friends, and study at a renowned research institution. Salt Lake City is one of the friendliest cities in the United States and has great public transportation, museums, performing arts, and fun nightlife. World-class skiing is only 30 minutes away, and there are five National Parks within driving distance. At ELI we want you to go beyond your academic studies and experience life in Salt Lake City, Utah.
