International Services, a unit of the Office of Admissions and Scholarships, is charged with the responsibility of international undergraduate recruitment. This includes marketing MSU to prospective undergraduates worldwide, developing effective and efficient admissions policies and practices and coordinating scholarship opportunities for qualified candidates.

This unit is also mandated to serve both undergraduate and graduate students, professors, research scholars, short term scholars and specialists holding F and J visa status. This service is primarily implemented through USCIS and Department of State regulatory advising, benefit issuance, and document processing. The unit works closely with a wide variety of other university administrative and academic offices to best serve the international community in such matters as semi-annual immigration orientation sessions, Fulbright summer Preacademic programs, and yearly international tax workshops.

Lastly, the International Services unit assists the academic departments in formulating international student and faculty exchanges through articulation agreements, arranging logistics, hosting visitors, coordinating academic and administrative units, facilitating meetings, etc. with the overall goal of campus internationalization. International Services is located in Montgomery Hall.
