International Students
Meredith College welcomes students from around the world – we believe that our academic community is strongest when students bring different ideas, experiences, and cultures to campus. You’ll study in strong academic programs with professors who will know you and in a safe community that’s committed to supporting your goals. Your strong voice and presence matter here!
Our beautiful 225-acre campus is located in Raleigh, North Carolina’s capital city. Raleigh is one of three cities that comprise Research Triangle Park – the largest research park in the United States and known as North Carolina’s premier global innovation center. Two hours east of our campus is the Atlantic Ocean. Three hours west are the beautiful Appalachian Mountains. And in RTP, you’ll find 176,000 other college students and plenty to do as you experience your new home away from home.
Whether you’ll be seeking a student visa, are already in the U.S., or you’re a Third Culture Kid studying internationally, we look forward to welcoming you to the Meredith community.
