International Programs
Welcome to NMT's International and Exchange Programs
Our mission is to promote 色狐入口 Tech through the development of relationships with non-immigrant students throughout the world. Our goal is to allow the NMT community to thrive and prosper through the relationships developed with our international students.
The International Programs office is part of the Center for Student Leadership and Engagement and provides educational and personal development to our international students to help them become important and contributing members of the NMT community. We do this through study abroad programs, MOU鈥檚 with other universities, campus wide events, social hours and faculty involvement, including:
- Admission of undergraduate international students
- Advising of all international students, especially regarding immigration regulations
- Global Village Day, an annual international fair and exhibit
- International Coffee/Tea Hours and occasional seminars on international topics
- Study Abroad with exchange-partner universities in Mexico and other countries
