Learn the English language

The Program in Intensive English (PIE) is a full-time program for non-native English speakers, with a focus on improving the English proficiency and academic preparedness of international students.

Our program increases academic English skills in the areas of reading, writing, listening, and speaking. International students who complete this program are prepared to begin taking university classes.

Almost all PIE students are conditionally admitted to Northern Arizona University.
