International Students

Welcome!

A degree from the University of Michigan is respected throughout the world. The excellence of a U-M education comes from a distinguished faculty, world-class resources such as advanced computer technology and a library of more than seven million volumes, and an endless variety of educational opportunities.

The University of Michigan is the academic home for undergraduate students from the United States and all over the world. Undergraduate and graduate students come here from 129 countries. In 2007, the total number of international students was 4,909; of these, 1,266 were international undergraduates. We believe strongly that diversity promotes freedom of thought, innovation and creativity, and a broader spectrum of learning. The University of Michigan is committed to building a racially, ethnically, and religiously heterogeneous community.

We are extremely proud of all the students who study at the University of Michigan. International students are a very important part of our community, and we welcome your interest.
