It is all in the details
International students who wish to attend an SCSU graduate program in the United States must apply for admission as full-time degree-seeking graduate students. The United States Department of Homeland Security requires full-time attendance for international students. International students on F-1 and J-1 visas cannot be considered for admission to part-time academic programs. Examples would include the MBA, Applied Clinical Research and College of Education part-time programs in Maple Grove and the Master of Engineering Management part-time program in St. Paul, MN. International students may enroll in the full-time MEM, MTQ and RAS programs held in Maple Grove, MN. Graduate certificate programs do not meet this requirement.
