International Student Services

Dear International Student,

Welcome to The University of the Arts! We value the cultural diversity you bring to our creative campus, which is home to an incredibly diverse community of students, staff, and faculty from throughout the US and over 35 countries.

The mission of the International Student Services is two-fold: first, our services include,

• Providing thorough immigration counseling and workshops regarding immigration regulations.
• Offering guidance in navigating through all academic and administrative departments at The University of the Arts, including ESL services.
• Assisting students transition into American culture and The University of the Arts, as well as offering assistance with transitioning from The University of the Arts to post-graduate life and employment issues.

The second part of our mission is advocacy and cultural and artistic programming: we advocate for international students and international education as part of a campus-wide ethos in the service of forwarding the intellectual and artistic lives of the UArts community towards engaged creative global citizenship. 

You can connect with me through email, in-person appointments or during office hours, our programmed events, and through participating in the Global Exchange Network. I am looking forward to working with each of you to help make your experience at The University of the Arts an enriching one.

Sincerely,
Mara Flamm
Director, International Student Services
