International Graduate Admissions

Graduate Engineering and the University of St. Thomas welcome applications from international students.

We are proud to have a culturally diverse student body representing nations from all across the globe. International students represent just over 10% percent of the Graduate Programs in Engineering student body.

In cooperation with the University of St. Thomas’ Office of International Students and Scholars, we will assist you step-by-step with the application process.

We encourage all international students who live outside of the United States to apply at least four months prior to the start of the term in which you desire entry.
