The information below is for guidance for students who:
- Are not U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents,

- Are in their final year of high school (secondary school) or have completed high school (secondary school)
International students interested in applying for a Master’s degree program should refer to our Graduate Admissions application information.
International students interested in applying for an online Bachelor’s degree program should contact international@uwsuper.edu for more information.

The value I get from my education at UWS is like nowhere else. With two majors in Computer Science and Environmental Studies (self-designed) along with two certificates in Sustainable Enterprise and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), I receive a quality education at half the cost of many other 4-year programs. Not only that, but the on-campus job opportunities allow me to get real experience in my fields of interest, which would be harder to get at larger schools.
