Sacred Heart University welcomes students from around the world. Our students represent many countries including Japan, Canada, Bermuda, Italy, Ireland, Tanzania and France. International students are eligible to apply to the undergraduate program at Sacred Heart University if they have completed the equivalent of a United States secondary school education (approximately twelve years of formal education) and have the appropriate diploma or satisfactory results on leaving examinations.

Sacred Heart University classifies an international student as a student who does not hold U.S. citizenship or U.S. Permanent Residency (U.S. Resident Alien) and needs an F1 student visa. This includes students who are living and/or studying outside the U.S. and students who are living and/or studying in the U.S. at the time of their application for admission.
