Southeast Missouri State University 1873

International Students

Thousands of students from around the world have selected Southeast for its academic excellence, welcoming spirit, safety, and extracurricular opportunities. Are you ready to join them?

At Southeast, you won’t just be learning in the classroom, you’ll be putting your knowledge into practice from your very first day. Whether it’s in a lab, on a stage, at our very own research farm, in your classroom, in a gallery, across the nation, or around the world, we don’t just tell you about the profession you’re going into. We give you the experience to do it.

Every year we welcome Redhawks from 50 countries around the world. Join us in Cape Girardeau, and you’ll be a Redhawk, too. Southeast students get free admission to all athletic events, discounted tickets to performances at the River Campus, and plenty of opportunities to showcase their Redhawk pride.

International Admissions

The steps to admission for international students can be more complex for a variety of reasons. The Office of International Education and Services is here to help you every step of the way.

Personalized Support

One of the best things about Southeast is you can find the variety of program choices and resources that you’d find at a big university, but you get the personal support of a smaller university. So, whether you need advising, mentoring, tutoring, or just somebody to listen, you’ll find a team of faculty, staff, and experts here to make sure you won’t have to do it alone.
