International Student Programs
Greetings from International Student Programs!
Are you a current or prospective international student (F-1 visa holder, missionary kid or third culture kid)? Have you spent considerable time outside of the US? Are you interested in learning more? 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 (F-1, MK 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! We are looking forward to welcoming you and your families to our campus. Each year, we welcome our international students to campus early to participate in Multicultural and International Orientation. Our schedule for 2026 is still being finalized, but please take a look at the 2025 schedule for reference. If you have any pressing questions, please reach out to International Admissions and/or Director of International Student Programs Amy Nicols Villeda.
