Welcome International Students

With students representing different countries around the world, our campus mirrors the rich diversity that is found in the global community. Penn State Scranton values the intellectual and cultural diversity that international students bring to our campus and with smaller class sizes and many opportunities to get involved, international students can submerse themselves in American culture while getting a degree.

  • Intend to stay in the US temporarily
  • Does not have US citizenship or legal permanent resident status (a “green card”)
  • Applies for a visa to be allowed entry into the US
  • Already living in the US and holding a non-immigrant status
