International Students
We are home to a lively global culture, with over 900 international students from more than 80 countries. We support our international graduate students with English language learning services, our dedicated international student office that can help you find housing in America and social events so you can make friends on campus.
Our graduate student body is engaged with the global community, and many of our students travel overseas for international graduate programs and summer faculty-led trips. We are also ranked second in the country for the number of Peace Corps volunteers our graduate programs produce each year.
