Office for Study Away and International Education

International Students and Scholars

International students and scholars bring a very welcome vitality and many perspectives to Furman.  Studying in a foreign country is a tremendous undertaking, and we do all we can to support students in that endeavor – beginning with an orientation immediately upon arrival.  While we want all students and scholars to succeed in every aspect of their time at Furman, knowing and following U.S. visa regulations is the one thing each student and scholar must do.
