International Students

Prospective international students are included in recruitment tours and encouraged to make contact with VU-EDGE when a representative visits your campus. Please see Application Process page details about applying to the Graduate School. If you have general questions about living in a diverse environment as a graduate student at Vanderbilt, please feel free to contact our office with questions.

To support international students, we encourage students to make contact with Vanderbilt’s International Student & Scholar Services (ISSS) office. ISSS fosters the education and development of non-domestic students and scholars to enable them to achieve their academic and professional goals and objectives. Julie Wilbers and her staff provide advice, counseling, and advocacy regarding immigration, cross-cultural, and personal matters. They also support an environment conducive to international education and intercultural awareness via educational, social, and cross cultural programs.
