The Red Rocks Intensive English Program offers five 8-week sessions
during fall, spring, and summer semesters each year. Part-time students may
take the first four weeks of any 8-week session. Each session consists of
20-25 hours of study, focused on Grammar, Writing, Reading and Communication
skills. This program is for you if:

academic degree in the U.S. or to improve your professional
qualifications in the international market

Each session, the program includes two excursions to local areas of
cultural interest. In addition, college-sponsored events such as
international potlucks, culture festivals, and ski trips offer opportunities
to meet other international and American college students. At the end of
each session, the International Education Office awards a certificate to
each student who has successfully completed the program. International
students who wish to obtain a student visa in order to study at Red Rocks
Community College may do so by submitting financial documents with their
application forms. We will issue an I-20, which you can take to your local
US embassy or consulate to apply for the visa. We can assist you in finding
accommodations with families who have been carefully screened by our office.
