SPC’s Corporate Training recently welcomed representatives from EducationUSA to a presentation by SPC’s International Language Institute and Center for International Programs. The EducationUSA advisors hailed from nine different countries and were in the Tampa Bay area for the Overseas Association for College Admission Counseling Conference. While here, they toured the EpiCenter and Gibbs campuses and learned more about educational opportunities for international students at SPC.

EducationUSA is a U.S. Department of State-supported network of hundreds of advising centers around the world. They partner with educational institutions and work with embassies, cultural centers, libraries, and other organizations to promote international student recruitment and assist students in pursuing U.S. higher education opportunities.

SPC’s International Language Institute has an Intensive English Program (IEP) for international students who need to improve English language skills prior to entering a degree program. While visiting the EpiCenter, the EducationUSA advisors met with IEP students who spoke about their experiences and why they chose to attend SPC. There are more than 200 international students from 65 different countries currently enrolled at SPC.

“SPC’s Intensive English Program helps prepare international students for academic success at SPC by providing high quality English instruction in a supportive learning community.”
