佐治亚州立大学的IEP被称为学术英语（EAP）计划。课程内容，活动和作业旨在让学生为大学工作的语言要求做好准备。中高级程度的学生将阅读，讨论和撰写有关学术课程的主题。在初级和中级阶段，学生主要专注于基本语言技能。就像上大学一样，学生应该上课，做作业和参加考试。
The mission of the IEP program is to provide English Language Learners with opportunities to develop the language and cultural competence necessary to make their success at an American university an achievable goal. As one of a family of programs within the Department of Applied LinguisticsESL, the IEP is uniquely positioned to deliver a high quality research-based curriculum to move students along a continuum of language acquisition in preparation for academic study in English. To this end, the program relies upon the scholarship and expertise of faculty, staff and graduate students within the department who contribute to the formulation, evaluation and delivery of a dynamic educational and social experience in a multicultural environment and who acknowledge IEP students as valuable informants in an ongoing process of refining ESL pedagogy. To ensure that this process continues to enhance the IEP students’ learning experience, the program is committed to providing professional development opportunities to both faculty and staff. The IEP is dedicated to fostering an international perspective within the Georgia State community as well as within the communities from which its learners come.
