It is part of our core Jesuit tradition to welcome international students to Seattle University. Our student community includes representatives from more than 75 nations, and our alumni live in nearly 100 different countries.
In addition to a Jesuit education that will be recognized around the world for its academic excellence, we offer international students an opportunity to study in one of the world-class cities in the United States. You will receive a personal education among a community of dedicated students and faculty in an urban neighborhood. Wherever you are from, and wherever your life’s work takes you, we believe the connections you make at Seattle University will open up your world.
Seattle University has 9 partner institutions and receives exchange students based on the student exchange agreement. Participating exchange students pay tuition to their home institution for the period of their stay at Seattle University. Exchange students will be responsible for their own room and board as well as transportation to and from the host institution.
