Division of International Affairs
The Division of International Affairs is the center for activities that connect the University of Memphis to the global community of students, scholars, and researchers. UofM is proud to host over 1,500 students from outside the United States, and the division's recruitment team actively seeks to increase the number of applicants from all corners of the globe. Our international students and scholars excel in their fields of study, contribute to research and innovation, and help make our city a diverse and inclusive community.
Within the Center for International Education Services (CIES), the International Student Services Office supports foreign students once they have been accepted for admittance and throughout their engagement with UofM. Our active Education Abroad Office gives domestic students unparalleled opportunities for cross-cultural learning experiences abroad, including academic study, internships, and community service programs. Its catalog includes short-term programs during the summer or semester breaks and programs lasting a semester or academic year. The Intensive English for Internationals program prepares students for entry into graduate and undergraduate programs at the University of Memphis or throughout the United States. The IEI program is also open to international professionals living in the Memphis area seeking to improve their working knowledge of English.
In its 2023-28 strategic plan, the University of Memphis enshrined the vision to be a nationally recognized public research university that addresses the community and society’s greatest challenges. International partnerships create opportunities to magnify the impact of research and raise UofM’s profile around the world. DIA encourages and assists faculty and staff as they engage with colleagues and institutions abroad and helps foreign researchers find partners at UofM.
