International students (non-U.S. citizens currently living outside the U.S.) must have a visa status that allows academic study at the University of Washington. International applicants include individuals who hold U.S. visas, such as F-1, H-1, any dependent visas or any other non-immigrant classifications. (You are not an international applicant if you hold a U.S. “Green Card or Immigrant” status.) NOTE: Not all visa types are eligible to enroll in the MS Entrepreneurship Program.
International applicants are required to provide additional application materials and information when they apply to the University of Washington Graduate School. When you have submitted an on-line Graduate School Application and paid the application fee, you will see a detailed checklist of requirements.
For questions, or more detailed information about visas, laws, and travel, please visit the International Student Services (ISS) web site and contact them for advising and questions.

Admitted international applicants are required to show proof of adequate financial support. Details about this financial ability requirement can be found on the Graduate School’s website.
