Worcester State University is home to more than 120 international students and scholars from 25 countries who study, teach, or conduct research here each year. The IPO provides professional expertise on F-1 and J-related immigration and employment-related issues and promotes our students’ academic, professional, and personal growth.
Our office collaborates with the larger university community to enhance the international character of WSU. We strive to build connections between international students and the WSU community and aspire to share your values and stories with fellow Lancers and the City of Worcester.
Above all, we want to ensure that you feel comfortable during your time with us and achieve your academic, professional, and personal goals while complying with federal immigration regulations.
The first step in becoming a Worcester State student is applying to the University; you can do so online and in person. Once you have been accepted to the University, our office will follow up with you directly with the next steps. Find out more about applying to Worcester State as an international student.
