International Programs

Northern State University’s International Programs bring the world to Aberdeen, supporting international students from across the globe as they pursue their education and build meaningful connections on our campus and within our incredible community. We provide comprehensive guidance—from admissions and immigration advising to cultural and academic support—ensuring every student feels welcomed, valued, and empowered to succeed. We also create transformative opportunities for our domestic students to study abroad through summer programs, semester exchanges, and faculty-led experiences that expand their academic and personal horizons. Programs and opportunities such as these enrich our classrooms, strengthen our community, and foster global understanding through our students' perspectives, talents, and experiences. Donor support directly expands our ability to recruit and support international students, offer more program opportunities to students interested in studying abroad, and host community-wide events that bring people together. Your generosity helps create life-changing opportunities, strengthens our campus and region, and builds bridges that connect Northern to the world.
