The English Language Institute Special Programs office at Missouri State University would like to wish you good health and strength during these challenging times.

We are committed to providing the best customer service for former, current, and future participants. For this reason, we would like to update you on changes and new developments happening in our office.

Updates: Summer Programs

Summer English Program for Adults: It’s Happening

For participants who would like to attend our English and Leadership Immersion Program, we want you to know that we still plan to have the program run during the summer. The dates of the program most likely will change from the original dates, and we will let you know when we decide on the new dates. Missouri State University is working hard to keep everyone safe and healthy. Check our website for updates: English & Leadership Immersion Program

Summer Camps for Youth: Cancelled

Due to the current situation regarding COVID-19, we have unfortunately been forced to cancel both of our youth programs Global Leadership Academy and International Explorers Academy for summer 2020. This was a difficult decision for us, and we hope that for summer 2021 we can have incredible young people in our programs as we have had in previous years.
