The University of Michigan invites qualified international students to apply to its exceptional and diverse undergraduate and graduate programs. The university hosts a highly varied population, with a community representing over 122 different countries. Although international students are welcome to apply to any program, over a third of all international students at the University of Michigan are undergraduates.
The university offers over 275 different degree programs, along with faculty members who have national and international reputations for teaching ability and research. The university is located in one of the finest college towns and provides a safe, inviting place for students to live, learn, and grow as intellectuals.
Freshmen applicants may apply to more than one school, college, or program at a time. This allows for the individualization of career and degree paths. The school also offers preferred admission, which is a way for students to indicate interests in later transferring to upper-level programs. Acceptance in this program essentially guarantees a student placement as long as the student meets certain academic standards and prerequisite courses while studying within the freshman year.
To apply, international students should follow the same application procedures as residential undergraduate applicants. Students should complete the Common Application or Coalition Application and submit a $75 application fee. Applicants should also submit test results from the SAT or ACT (both with the writing component included). Schools must submit a school report, one teacher evaluation, and a counselor recommendation, along with official high school transcripts. An official English translation must also be submitted if the documents are not already in English. If English is the second language of the applicant, results from the IELTS, TOEFL, or MELAB must also be submitted.
Financial aid is not available for international students on temporary visas. Scholarships are also typically unavailable. As a result, international students should expect to pay the full cost of attendance. All application materials must be submitted by November 1 for early action, and February 1 for Regular Admission.
