Services for International Students

The International Program Center at Bemidji State University serves international students as prospective students and during the application/admission process, provides transfer credit evaluations, conducts the international student orientation sessions, and serves as a resource throughout enrollment on matters related to F-1 and J-1student visa status.

A Family Friends program is available to provide international students with an American friend while studying in the U.S. The program provides for unique opportunities in gaining additional insights into the American culture. Participation in this program is voluntary.
