Who We Are

The rich diversity that’s brought to UTRGV by international students is a crucial element of our special culture and a truly distinctive aspect of our community. Here, we celebrate these differences in a welcoming and inclusive environment. At the same time, we also embrace the fact that each and every student here is joined by a common desire for a world-class education.

The mission of the Office of the International Student Services is to provide support to our UTRGV international student population.

Our services include:

• Advising on international admissions requirements from the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
• Conducting orientation and cultural events to help international students adjust to academic, cultural, and social life at UTRGV.
• Serving as a liaison with our U.S. governmental agencies, U.S. Consulates, and sponsors that support international student education.
• Connecting our international student population with the community, volunteer programs, student organizations, and campus services available to them.
