International Students
At Maryville University, globalization of the campus is always a top priority. Globalizing the campus is an important part of our university's mission, with its emphasis on developing a more heterogeneous campus where people of diverse cultures, ethnicity and ages are understood and valued. We believe that the increasingly global and interconnected nature of today's world requires our students to develop a deep understanding of and sensitivity to other cultures and traditions (both western and non-western). This is why students from a variety of countries enroll at Maryville in the undergraduate, Weekend & Evening College and graduate programs.
Maryville University is authorized by federal law to enroll non-immigrant students who demonstrate proficiency in the English language and who certify means of financial support for their studies. |
