International Student Services

Since the first studia generale established in Europe centuries ago, universities have been intellectual melting pots for scholars from around the world. Free to share ideas and collaborate in research, academics from all nations have gathered in universities to extend the reach of human knowledge and creativity in science, the humanities, and the arts.

At Southern Connecticut State University, International Student Services promotes the multinational, multicultural flavor of the university by assisting undergraduate and graduate students from countries as varied as Japan, the United Kingdom, Senegal, Finland, and the Fiji Islands.

Whether you are from Seoul, Korea, or Hamden, Connecticut, this Web site will tell you about the resources available in Southern's International Student Services Office.
