We do have international students pursuing graduate degrees in our department, however, these positions are limited since their availability depends on: (1) the capacity of the student's government to provide a living stipend, tuition, and fees; and (2) the availability of departmental faculty and research projects. Therefore, we are unable to accept applicants for graduate education without a specific faculty sponsor pre-identified.
