Chosen nine years in a row as one of the top public comprehensive colleges in the Midwest by U.S. News & World Report, VCSU welcomes students from around the world to our friendly, technology-enriched campus of just over 1000 students.

Take a look at our website and you will see that we offer excellent advantages to a student wanting to study in the United States, including: 13:1 student to faculty ratio; over 35 academic majors from which to choose; a laptop computer provided every student with replacement every two years; numerous student organizations to involve yourself in the campus, and much more.

If you are a international transfer student from a non-U.S. school, you may be wondering if any of your previous work will apply to your VCSU degree. They just may! In order for us to evaluate your previous coursework, VCSU requires students seeking to have credits transfer use the Worldwide Education Services (WES) organization to have the course descriptions interpreted. The Registrar's Office will then receive the information to better evaluate what credits will transfer.

Canadian students do not need to use the evaluation service, however, you must have an official transcript sent to VCSU directly from the university attended.
