Are You an International Student?

An international student is:

  • A student who does not hold U.S. citizenship or permanent residency.
  • A student who does not identify as undocumented or a DACA student.
  • A student who does not have I-94 refugee/asylee status.

At Canisius College, students benefit from:

  • Small class sizes, allowing for a personalized academic experience.
  • Numerous immersive learning opportunities, including internships, research, and more.
  • A close student-to-faculty ratio, leading to mentors that last a lifetime.
  • Over 100 majors, minors, and special programs that can be combined to create your own unique path.
  • Over 60 clubs and organizations so you can pursue your passions or discover new ones!
  • An environment that is enriched by history, culture, recreation, and hometown pride.
  • International undergraduate students also receive the same merit scholarships as our domestic undergraduate students, which is not always the case!
