The University has a dedicated professional staff to provide a variety of support services and programs to assist international students and scholars. They will work with you to secure the requisite visa, and once you are here, they will assist you with the transition to life in the United States, beginning with an International Student Orientation. Throughout the year, they also run a variety of educational and cultural programs and events to help international students, scholars, and families feel at home.
