Qualified international students are welcome to enroll in graduate degree programs at UW-Superior. NOTE: International students who intend to enroll in a UW-Superior graduate program in F-1 student status are eligible to apply only for the on-campus counseling graduate program. Students who wish to enroll in an online program and attend classes virtually from outside of the U.S. are welcome to apply for any of the above programs that are offered entirely online. Please contact Graduate Admissions with related questions.

The first step to being admitted is to complete the application for admission and remit the non-refundable application fee. Additionally, the following information must be submitted to the Graduate Studies Office, located in the Yellowjacket Union, Room 230:

The university issues Form I-20’s to students who have been admitted and submitted the appropriate documentation.
