International Students

The University of New Orleans currently hosts around 600 international students, faculty, and staff from about 90 countries. On-campus housing is available for international students, and provides a great environment for meeting new people from around the world.

The Office of International Students and Scholars provides comprehensive immigration advising, programming, and support services to all international students and faculty and their dependents. We work with faculty and administrators to build friendship agreements with foreign universities, and we assist international student organizations in planning activities such as International Night and cultural tea hours.
