I got more than I bargained for attending Lamar University. I wanted to study engineering and Lamar University offers a first class engineering program and scholarships to international students. LU engineering students are recruited by companies worldwide, and many undergrads are receiving job offers before they even graduate. At Lamar, I am receiving more than just an education; I’m getting a chance to experience the world. There are students from over 40 countries here, and I have the opportunity to meet them and be a part of their world and share my own with them. There is always something to do at Lamar; there are sports, leadership or self-developmental programs, cultural events, volunteering opportunities, and even entertainment of every kind. Since I’ve been at Lamar University, I learned how to grow outside of my box and what it takes to become a successful leader for tomorrow.

The Lamar University International Student Services web site exists to serve prospective and current students. The pages contain general to specific information from location and academic programs to the application process and how to maintain student visa status. We hope that you will find the content of this site concise and informative. If you have any suggestions, please email: international.recruiter@lamar.edu.
