All instructors in the UNA AEP hold a Master's degree in either English or Education as well as a TESOL Certificate (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). Our faculty know how to help students achieve.

UNA's AEP gives you 25 hours of instruction per week! Many US programs are only 20 hours per week. At UNA, you can reach your goals faster.

Our program gives you the personal attention to achieve more! Instructors and staff members know each and every student.

A designated computer lab is located in the building with the AEP. Instructors use it for class enrichment and it is available to students for personal use or study.

Our program is a part of the UNA campus. Our students have access to all the resources, organizations and experiences of the full campus - including the library, residence halls, dining facilities, infirmary, recreation center, and sporting and cultural events.

As a fully-accredited university, AEP students transition smoothly into academic studies with no required change of address or services.

Twice each week, Conversation Partners meets in Powers Hall. This is a chance to have casual conversation practice with American students. We have more American partners than AEP students some days! Our goal is to incorporate a topic or activity into the hour to provide new language experience and make interaction more comfortable.

Once each month, students take the practice of English into the city of Florence for practical use in real world situations while learning about aspects of culture and daily life in the US.
