VISITORS VISA

Since the Masters Program in Fashion, Beauty & Print is only 9 weeks long, a foreign student need only obtain a visitor visa from his/her local United States embassy or consulate and complete the enrollment process.

To qualify for a visitor or student visa, an applicant must meet the requirements of sections 101(a)(15)(B) or (F) of the INA respectively. Failure to do so will result in a refusal of a visa under INA 214(b).

To begin the enrollment process, please complete an application and submit it along with your deposit (including a non-refundable registration fee) and proof of financial support. You may complete the profile contained in our student catalog.
