Institute of International Education

ASU is a member of the Institute of International Education (IIE). This is an association of over 770 higher educational institutions around the world and is the world's first truly global professional association for international education policy makers, administrators, and researchers. Membership provides ASU with a network of international education professionals with expert analytical information and research, and a forum for discussion and interaction.

The IIE network provides opportunities for a full immersion, direct enrollment experience for a semester or academic year. Although particularly suited for the student interested in foreign language acquisition, many courses are taught in English in a wide variety of academic areas.
