Address:3300 S. Federal St.Chicago, IL 60616 Website:www.iit.edu/ International Admissions:Welcome to Illinois Institute of Technology—where inspiration and imagination fuel innovation. Many prospective international students are qualified academically to attend IIT but have not yet scored high enough on the TOEFL and IELTS to be admitted into a degree program. The TOEFL and IELTS exams are not required for entry to the Professional Learning Program (PLP.) Participation in PLP greatly enhances students' English skills, enabling most students to achieve TOEFL or IELTS scores high enough for admission to a United States degree program after one, two, or three semesters of study. Students in PLP will learn information technology and/or business and/or civil, architectural, and environmental engineering while also learning English. In this way, IIT offers and advantage over language schools that focus primarily on English. Participants must also be 18 years of age. International Website:http://www.iit.edu/ | |
