International students are a vital part of the diverse identities and experiences that enrich our campus community. We are deeply committed to supporting their success. Our staff guide students through the application and visa processes, the Language Partner Program connects multilingual students with dedicated writing advisors, and faculty mentorships provide individualized support to help students thrive and make the most of their education. 

ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú has been ranked in the top 17% of the World University Rankings for International Students by StudyAbroadAid, a comprehensive global university database—and with good reason!  Our top-notch academic programs, ample internship and research opportunities, and dedicated career advising services all ensure that our graduates are extraordinarily well-prepared for the job market, graduate studies, and more.

Our students may come from all over the world, but a unifying love for a rigorous education and a successful career unites the entire campus. We hope you’ll join us here in the Pacific Northwest!
