They are currently accepting applications for the Fall 2014 semester. The IEAP curriculum has been at the college since 2010 but was previously limited to local immigrants. Due to the high success rates of those students (average college-level English grade is a 3.17 after completing program) Joliet Junior College is thrilled to expand the program and welcome students on an F-1 visa. New courses include American Culture I & II and a Language Laboratory course. Our main campus is just 72km outside downtown Chicago, giving students the opportunity to experience the exceptional cultural activity of the city. Joliet Junior College is also one of the few community colleges in Illinois with on-campus student housing. For more information, please contact Dayna Crabb at dcrabb@jjc.edu.

According to Parkland’s website, 350 students representing over 50 countries attend school here. Life for an international student is different from that of a domestic student in many ways. In addition to the typical stresses that any college student deals with, international students may also find it difficult to feel comfortable in an unfamiliar environment. Parkland is well aware of the difficulties these students face and has staff on hand to help them cope.
