International Students
Our student community comes from more than 60 countries around the world. We want to be sure international students have all of the info on additional requirements set by the U.S. government and our program.
Courses are in English
All courses are taught in English. Students should feel comfortable enough in the language to communicate with their instructors and classmates while studying at Stanford.
Students must have a visa
Stanford requires international students who attend Stanford Summer Session to have a visa appropriate for academic study. For most students, this will be an F-1 Student Visa, although there are additional visa classifications that cover credit-based study.
Plan to bring your documents
All international students will be required to present certain documents upon entry to the United States and arrival to Stanford campus.
