International Students

Your U.S. Education Begins Here.

Fairfield University welcomes applications from international students. We value the diverse perspectives your experience will bring to your classrooms and the greater University community. Join students from more than 50 countries across four continents, including China, India, Ireland, Vietnam, Peru, and Mexico.

During your academic journey at Fairfield, you will have plenty of time between lectures and lab sessions to explore the landscape, visit iconic landmarks, and experience a brand-new country with brand-new customs and activities. With the shoreline and beach just one mile from campus and New York City only a 60-minute train ride away, the opportunities for adventure are endless.

Finding another home almost 7,500 miles away from my homeland wasn’t easy, but I found one here at Fairfield. The University is amazing in every aspect, from its quality education and beautiful surroundings to its excellent reputation and the values it stands for."
