Message from the International Student and Scholar Center
The university community warmly welcomes our international students. We are proud of the diversity of our international student faculty, and scholar community, representing 54 different countries. The majority of students study engineering, computer science, or business, but there is growing interest in the visual and performing arts and in programs like Professional Writing and Psychology.
The mission of the International Student & Scholar Center is to serve international students and scholars with support and advice to help to make your stay here as productive, interesting, and rewarding as possible. The Center provides general advice and assistance with campus life and personal needs. Ongoing support with visas and other immigration forms is available as well as assistance with documentation that international students and scholars need while in the United States.
Workshops are offered during the academic year on employment, taxes, and other subjects of interest. Cultural events are co-sponsored by the Center and other organizations on campus.
Please visit any of the sites listed to the left. We hope you find them interesting, convenient, and useful. We welcome any suggestions you have that may improve the information on this site.
