International Student Advisement

 During special sessions, the Office of International Education counsels students on topics such as student visa regulations, work opportunities, health and housing.

Bridge Program

The Office of International Education invites you to join the Bridge Program. The Bridge Program is an organization of both international students and American students enrolled at APSU.  It is designed to help international students explore American culture and history while teaching First Friends (APSU American students) about the culture and history of  international students.  This is accomplished through monthly discussions, educational activities and group excursions. First Friends help international students navigate campus life and culture. International students interested in participating in the Bridge Program and participating in discussions, activities or excursions with First Friends must complete the application. Previous international students wishing to re-apply must also complete this application by the appropriate deadline.  Get the online application here.
