International Students
From its beginning, Immaculata University has provided opportunities for international students to share in the rich total experience-spiritual, intellectual, and social-of the University. Admission of qualified students from other countries is beneficial for them individually, for the University community, and for the world community.

International students hoping to transfer credits must provide original transcripts of academic credentials accompanied by the English translation and course-by-course evaluation from any NACES-accredited provider.
