| Study Abroad Programs | International Development Programs Dr. Kenneth Holland, Associate Provost for International Programs Office of International Programs 304 Fairchild Hall 785-532-5990 Fax: 785-532-6550 E-mail: oip@ksu.edu Home Page: www.ksu.edu/oip/ Building upon several decades of international involvement, K-State provides a range of programs that link the campus with other parts of the world. The Office of International Programs, directed by the Associate Provost for International Programs, is responsible for university-wide coordination of international activities and general enhancement of K-State's global roles. The Office of International Programs supervises Study Abroad, the English Language Program, and international recruitment and works closely with the International Student Center, International and Area Studies, and other university and college programs. An International Activities Council, with representation from all of the colleges, provides ongoing strategic planning, program review, and policy guidance.
International Activities Council
Enid Cocke, Chair The International Activities Council (IAC), an advisory body that reports to the Provost, is composed of faculty and administrators from throughout K-State. IAC meets regularly, usually on a monthly basis, to promote and support international activities at K-State, and to enhance the internationalization of the university's activities. English Language Program
Mary Wood, Director The English Language Program offers intensive English courses primarily for international students who plan to enter degree programs at K-State. However, it also accepts students who wish to come for English instruction only. The program offers four levels of full-time intensive English. It also offers three part-time university English courses designated specifically for students in academic classes who need help with English. These courses provide continued instruction and support in English while students take courses in their degree field. These courses are:
Many graduate departments offer conditional admission to students who are academically qualified but do not yet have the necessary English proficiency. These students then apply to the English Language Program and receive an I-20 form to cover both their English study and the time that they spend earning their degree. They study in the English Language Program until they receive the necessary test score or earn the recommendation of the English Language Program. The program also screens the English proficiency of incoming non-native speakers of English. Students with a TOEFL score between 550/213 CBT and 600/250 CBT are tested, and some, depending on their test results, may be required to take some English courses. In addition, the English Language Program administers the oral proficiency test (speak test) for students who wish to qualify to be graduate teaching assistants.

Dr. Bradley Shaw, Director Students interested in world affairs may take advantage of several interdisciplinary opportunities. The Latin American Studies and International Studies Programs offer secondary majors to undergraduates. International Trade Studies provides an area emphasis for graduate students. Several other international programs do not offer degrees but provide advice and opportunities to interested students and faculty. These include the South Asia Center and groups of scholars with interests in the Middle East, Western Europe, Eastern and Central Europe, and Africa. For more information, contact the following:
