The English for Academic Purposes Program is part of the English Department in the Indiana University School of Liberal Arts at IUPUI. The EAP Program is designed to provide the language support and assistance undergraduate and graduate students need to fully participate and succeed in their respective fields. The program guide is here.

High-Intermediate and advanced EAP courses are offered both to students entering the university in degree programs as well as non-degree students who are interested in enhancing their English language skills. The EAP courses are also open to IUPUI international staff and faculty. EAP Courses are small, controlled to allow maximum student-teacher interaction in a student-centered communicative teaching approach. Individual attention and conferences are provided as the need arises.

In addition to modern high-tech classrooms and computer labs, IUPUI language facilities include digital and multi-media labs for classes and self-monitored, independent practice in listening, speaking, and pronunciation. An ESL tutoring center and a university-wide writing center with staff trained to help EAP students are available.
