International Admissions

At George Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ, we believe in inclusivity over exclusivity. 

That’s why we’re ranked as the most ethnically diverse public university in Virginia, and 7th in the United States. We welcome students from 130 countries. We enroll and graduate the mid-Atlantic region’s largest population of Hispanic and Asian students. And we’re a champion of individuality and expression.

We are All Together Different

Our top priority is to provide access to exceptional faculty and quality academic programs that promote growth as an individual, scholar, and career-ready professional.

As an international student, you'll submit the application that best fits your student type: freshman, transfer, or graduate. 

In addition to the regular application requirements, each application also has additional elements for international students.

Furthermore, some international students are also required to obtain a visa and health insurance to attend George Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ.
