The University of Minnesota considers you an international applicant if you are not a United States citizen, permanent resident, or refugee, or if you need a visa to study in the United States.
Admission is based on academic performance, academic preparation, and English proficiency (for non-native English speakers). Admission to the College of Science and Engineering is very selective and many programs have space limitations, so apply early.
This University programs supports you through the transition and any visa or paperwork issues.
If you have already completed some technical courses in your country, see the International Course Transfer Plans for suggested technical courses to complete before transferring; contact your admissions advisor if your institution is not included. See International Course Equivalencies for the possible transfer of credits; again, contact admissions if your institution is not included.
