The Program in Intensive English (PIE) was established in 1987 to meet the academic language needs of international students. After successfully completing the PIE and achieving satisfactory English proficiency, degree-seeking students are automatically admitted to NAU and may enroll full time in University classes. The program offers excellent instruction and small class size to allow for individual attention. PIE students and instructors visit a variety of sites including: the Grand Canyon, Sedona, the Museum of Northern Arizona. Students and teachers regularly get together for movies, sports activities, lunches, class dinners and an end-of-semester activity. 

Conversation Partner Program: During the academic year, PIE students can participate in a free conversation partner program. Partners meet at least one hour per week outside of class to converse and engage in various activities.
