About Us
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. We celebrate each other’s differences in a way that is welcoming and inclusive for everyone, while also embracing the fact that each and every student here is joined by a common desire for a world-class education.

- Advising on international admissions requirements from the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
