International Affairs

Why Think Globally?

We co-inhabit a changing planet and meet each other across crucial differences each day. Both must be better understood if we are to honor the dignity of every human and ensure our mutual well-being.

Let Us Help

International Admissions

Why do so many international students thrive at the University of the Incarnate Word? As a private, mission-focused university, we provide small classes, great teachers, impressive facilities, and a safe place to live and learn in one of the most economically robust cities in America. Competitive scholarships are available to undergraduate international students.

International Student and Scholar Services

Our advisors help international students, visiting scholars and exchange students meet all federal regulations. We also support your day-to-day needs (academic, social, cultural) to ensure a good overall experience. We help with visa and immigration processing, life in the U.S., employment and other support services that help you feel at home.

Study Abroad

We know that the idea of study abroad raises questions, especially for first generation students and families. Our job is to answer every question, prepare you early for study abroad and help you connect the opportunity to your academic and life goals.
