This study investigates the perceptions of the Intensive English Program (IEP) among Preparatory Year (PY) students at King Saud University. Specifically, the study explores the following aspects of the program: student perceptions of the IEP; differences among student perceptions based on their college and proficiency level; student perceptions of the IEP's strengths and weaknesses; and student evaluations of their English language skills. The study employs a quantitative survey method. The results of the study revealed that the students had an overall positive perception where approximately 70% of students perceive the program as effective, beneficial, and useful. In particular, various aspects of teacher performances were evaluated more positively by students than other aspects of the program, such as the effectiveness of the teaching material and academic advising.
