Information for International Students

International applicants are expected to have studied for at least one year in the United States and preferably have received an undergraduate (B.A., B.S.) or graduate (M.A., M.S.) degree from a U.S. institution of higher learning before he or she can be admitted to the PSC Program.

Application to the PSC program is very competitive. All international students who meet the above requirement and choose to submit an application must indicate in the Statement of Purpose what their future scientific plans are and with whom they would like to work in the PSC Program, so that the Admissions Committee can better assess whether the program is appropriate for the applicant's needs.

Preference will be made to international applicants already in the United States; however, through foreign government sponsorship, international applicants may be accepted.
