Mount Holyoke College is one of the most diverse liberal arts colleges in the United States with non-U. S. citizens comprising over twenty five percent of the student population. Our four hundred international students come to the College from more than 70 countries, bringing their experiences, talents, and perspectives to create powerful opportunities for learning and growth, both in the classroom and outside it.

The College defines international students as those who do not hold US citizenship or US permanent residency or qualify for US refugee or DACA status. Of course, the perspectives and life experiences of US students who live abroad, as well as US permanent residents, refugees and DACA students are recognized and valued even though they are not considered traditional international students.

As an international student, you have several options for joining Mount Holyoke.

First-Year Applicants
International students enrolling in college for the first-time may apply for admission to the four-year undergraduate program.
Transfer Applicants
International students may transfer from another institution to finish their degree at Mount Holyoke.
Visiting International Students
