Prospective Students

At Rush, we strive to be a learning community where students of all backgrounds feel welcomed and supported, and have the opportunity to share their own experiences. Join us!  Rush University welcomes international student applicants.

 

To become a F-1 international student at Rush University, you must first be admitted into an academic program. You are an international student applicant if you need a F-1 visa to study at Rush and reside in the United States. F-1 students are eligible to attend a Rush program if they will be studying full-time (as defined by the university) and as long as their courseload each term aligns with the Student and Exchange Visitor Program’s limits on online classes for F-1 students. International students cannot attend all-online programs, and are generally limited to 1 online class per term/semester towards the full course of study.

 

If you are accepted by the program you have applied to, be sure to email International_Students@rush.edu for access to the international student application. Make sure to reach out to International Student Services whether you are a new or transfer F-1 student.
