International Student Services 

Here are five ways you are welcome at WilmU: 

1. Friendly “Family” Community 
   It has been our privilege to serve students since 1968, providing life-changing education in an inclusive, caring community. Our international students bring highly valued global perspectives to WilmU. Their proud traditions and cultural experiences help generate ideas and promote a better understanding of our world.  
   
   
2. Dedicated Faculty and Staff 
   Our dedicated faculty and staff embrace an atmosphere of mutual respect regardless of age, race, interest, background or aspirations. The diversity of our student body brings our classrooms to life. 
   
   
3. Accredited Academics 
   WilmU offers a wide range of F-1 eligible programs, including a B.S. in Computer Science, MBA and M.S. in Information Systems Technologies — all designed to meet the demands of today’s global marketplace. Certain F-1 students who receive STEM degrees (science, technology, engineering and math), as designated by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, may apply for a 24-month extension of their post-completion optional practical training (OPT). 
   
   
4. Campus Life and Opportunities 
   From organizations and clubs to athletics, it’s easy to get involved in our Wildcat community. For example, the Multicultural Club helps support and guide students by hosting events on and off campus. The Cyber Wildcats are passionate about cybersecurity and technology. The Student Government Association gives members a voice in collegiate activities, and our incredible WilmU sports teams bring together student-athletes from all over the world. 
   
   
5. Convenient Location 
   WilmU’s main New Castle Campus is conveniently located in the East Coast state of Delaware, making it easy to travel to or from Philadelphia, New York City, Baltimore and Washington, D.C. We also partner with Places4Students, a company that specializes in off-campus housing solutions, so students can look for a roommate and find area housing options. 

We look forward to welcoming you to Wilmington University. We are committed to being a university where UNDERSTANDING and RESPECT for each other is paramount, INTEGRITY guides all of our choices, providing educational OPPORTUNITY is our primary purpose, and RESPONSIVENESS to diverse community needs is key.
