The Intensive English Language Institute (IELI) is typically a program within a larger university rather than a standalone institution. Its classification as public or private depends on the university it is affiliated with. For example, if IELI is part of a state-funded university, it is public. If it operates under a privately funded university, it is private. To determine its status, verify the parent institution’s funding source. Most IELIs in the U.S. are associated with public universities, but exceptions exist.
