International students

"The ability to work across cultures and countries is essential, particularly in many engineering fields where international offices have teams working together. Students who have the opportunity for global learning are going to have life-transforming experiences that shape their future success."

- Nancy Philippart '80, M.A. '87, Ph.D. '14

As of fall 2022, the college enrolled 110 international undergraduate students and 363 international graduate students from 33 countries -- all of whom can seek educational, cultural and social support and assistance from the university's Office of International Students and Scholars as well as language assistance from the English Language Institute, the only intensive English language program in the metropolitan Detroit area.

All international applicants are required to submit a qualifying TOEFL or IELTS score and a WES Evaluation.
