International Student Programs

Greetings from International Student Programs!

Are you a current or prospective international, missionary or TCK student? Whatever brings you here, we welcome you and hope you find what you need. If not, please get in touch with us so we can help.

Navigate through our links for resources on immigration, taxes and other legal matters, and information on our various programs, events, and opportunities for involvement.

We exist to understand and meet the unique needs of international, missionary and TCK students at Messiah by providing services, programs, and guidance leading to personal success and meaningful engagement with the broader campus community.

We are so excited for your journey at Messiah University to begin! This will certainly be a different than usual semester, but we hope that we can learn and grow together through the challenges. Please note, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have had to make significant changes to our orientation plans.

For Spring 2021 you will participate in an online orientation. Watch your email for details about online orientation. 

The first day of classes is Thursday, January 21, 2021.

Please stay tuned for further information.
