Visiting Students

What is the international visiting program?

The International Visiting Students Program assists international students who attend the University of Arkansas for one semester or one year.  Qualifying visiting students are either seeking their degrees from a partner institution that has a visiting student agreement with the University of Arkansas (UA) OR seeking their degrees from institutions that do not have a partner agreement with the University of Arkansas.   Visiting students are enrolled in a full course of study at the University of Arkansas.  Upon successful completion, courses will transfer to the students’ home institutions. 

Application information can be found at the International Visiting Student Application page
