What is it like to be an IEC@OCC student? IEC@OCC students enjoyed a mix of intensive classroom learning, social and academic-based afternoon activities, and weekends exploring Southern California.

Activities

It is important to IEC that students can practice English outside of the classroom; therefore, IEC provides students with numerous opportunities to do so. Weekend excursions, volunteer opportunities, academic workshops, and daily activities are organized by IEC three to five times per week and allow students to see more of beautiful California.

IEC’s activities are not just organized field trips: they are designed to involve and engage students with the community. This is why IEC organizes events like volunteering at homeless shelters, homework help workshops, and campus tours. Some activities (ski trips, etc.) require payment; others are free.
