International Students

The McCulloch Center for Global Initiatives provides orientation, advising, important services, and information about immigration regulations to international students.

For more than 170 years, Mount Holyoke College has attracted students from many backgrounds and cultures. In the 2009 fall semester 445 international students from 68 countries attend Mount Holyoke and comprise 26% of the student body. Most are studying towards a bachelor's degree and enter as first-year, transfer, or Frances Perkins students. Exchange students, Foreign Fellows and International Guest Students normally spend one year at the College and are awarded the "Certificate for International Students" following successful completion of their program of study.
