Some IEC programs are 100% online/hybrid degrees with no physical attendance at the ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ campus in Warrensburg.

In April 2024 the ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ partnered with Moebian (Mexico D.F.) to provide partner school students opportunities to pursue an American university degree with innovative instruction modality, program affordability and degree completion flexibility. IEC is a special pathway program that allows Mexican high school students to earn a pre-selected academic degree, or other degrees, in less time and at a lower cost.

Students may enroll in the IEC program during their high school junior and senior years to earn ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ credits by taking IEC courses online, on-campus (during summer as a cohort) or in a hybrid format. Students may also earn eligibility for OPT internship (F-1 Optional Practical Training) when they attend ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ in person in the United States for a minimum of one academic year.

Join us, July 5–11, 2026, at the ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½â€™s main campus in Warrensburg, Missouri, for a one-of-a-kind summer camp designed for international high school students. Participants will live and learn on a U.S. university campus, practice English in real-world settings, and enjoy hands-on experiences while exploring college and career pathways. It’s a chance to experience American college life, make lifelong friends, and create unforgettable memories. More information can be found here.
