International Students

International students represent a relatively small (approximately 5 percent of enrollment) but highly valued population in the College of Business Administration. Business professors are concerned with addressing global issues in the classroom and appreciate the diverse perspectives offered by international students. The business curriculum provides a strong international orientation, and the business faculty have lived, traveled, worked, and taught around the globe. As well, U.S. students enrolled in CBA benefit from their interaction with students from a variety of geographic regions and cultures.

How to Apply

International students apply for admission to CBA through the Office of International Services (OIS). This office assists international students with the admissions process, and provides an intensive orientation program for new international students. The orientation includes academic, social, and cultural sessions to help students adjust to their new surroundings. Throughout the year, the staff is available to assist students with matters involving government regulation and personal concerns that may emerge.

Applications are accepted at both the freshman and transfer level. For an admissions application, as well as information about deadlines, procedures, and required documents, visit the Office of International Services or write, telephone, E-mail, or fax OIS for further information:
