International Admissions
International Admissions
International students bring a unique element to our university community.
Our mission to “excel in scholarship, leadership and service in a diverse global society” is impacted by the culture, knowledge and perspective of our students. With over 50 countries represented on our campus during the past 10 years, Carey graduates continue to shine throughout the world.
International students are an important part of our student population and are active in campus activities, student ministries, and athletics. These students share their culture and stories with students, staff, faculty, and the Carey community during the year by hosting various international celebrations.
