Throughout its more than 130-year history, Christian Brothers University has opened its doors to students from all walks of life. The University has an international student population that represents students from more than two dozen countries. The diversity that these students bring to the campus community extends beyond the walls of the classroom. Unlike American students, international students are faced with the task of learning to adjust to a new country. This adjustment process can begin with as early as getting off the plane. Many programs are implement on campus to assist international students with adjusting to their new environment, some of which are advice on immigration matters, employment issues, taxation, academic policies, cultural adjustment, and other pertinent issues.
