Our office is dedicated to assisting international students in their adjustment to U.S. culture and education, to being a resource on immigration matters, to coordinating quality educational and social programming and much more.

ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø’s international community includes dozens of dual/U.S. citizens raised abroad, non-U.S. citizens holding non-immigrant and immigrant visas, and 200 students from more than 50 countries on F-1 student visas supported by ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø’s International Student Programs.

New International Students Deciding whether and where to study in the United States is an exciting, challenging and important process. International students who decide to study at ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø can count on support from International Student Programs that is provided early and regularly throughout students’ preparation for their arrival in August. International Student Programs not only helps international students to prepare for and thrive while at ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø, it helps the whole ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø community to be one that is aware of and supportive of the needs of international students.

Government Regulations Understanding visa processes, rules and expectations can be intimidating. The International Student Programs team possesses not only visa expertise but also a steady, reassuring philosophy when it comes to educating and supporting international students throughout the entirety of their experience at ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø and beyond.

The Host Family Program Everyone needs a caring "home away from home." Through the Host Family Program, American families "adopt" international students to learn from them and to love them as sojourners in our country. International Student Programs matches local families with international students from around the globe. All international students live on campus or in campus housing.
