New Mexico State University: A Top Choice for International Transfer Students Seeking Flexible Learning
Our hybrid graduate programs let international students study online while meeting U.S. residency requirements, making them eligible for an I-20 visa.
International students coming to NMSU have access to a broad range of undergraduate and graduate programs across key disciplines, including Agriculture and Consumer Sciences, Arts and Humanities, Business and Marketing, Education, Engineering, Healthcare, and Sciences. Each program is carefully designed to support students in building successful careers, whether they choose online, hybrid, or in-person learning.
The university’s dedication to quality and support was a major draw for Shashank T., an international student in the hybrid master’s of data analytics program. "This is my first time in the U.S., and I wanted to be at a big university with strong faculty and great campus services. That’s why I chose NMSU,” he explains. “[My advisor] was amazing. She sent emails with step-by-step instructions on enrollment and even set up one-on-one video calls. Knowing there was someone to help made it easier to move to a new country."
In addition to degree programs, NMSU offers 100% online skill-building courses through Microlearning by NMSU Global Campus. These pay-per-course options allow students to enhance specific skills without requiring formal admission to the university. Popular courses include “English Skills for Academic Success,” which supports non-native English speakers in building academic language proficiency, and “How to Write a Compelling Statement of Purpose,” guiding students on how to write strong college application essays.
NMSU is committed to providing affordable education for all students, regardless of location. With fixed undergraduate and graduate tuition rates, international students can access a world-class education at competitive prices. Scholarships are available, and students can explore financial aid opportunities through the NMSU Scholar Dollar$ system or external scholarships.
All international applicants must demonstrate English language proficiency, and NMSU accepts a variety of tests, including IELTS, TOEFL, and Duolingo. Information on specific score requirements and waivers can be found on the International Students webpage at global.nmsu.edu/international-students for online or hybrid students or https://isss.nmsu.edu/index.html for Las Cruces Campus students.

However, the hybrid graduate programs allow international students to take most of their courses online while fulfilling U.S.-based residency requirements. These hybrid options make it possible for students to receive an I-20, a unique path that provides both flexibility and international access.
