Services for International Students
The International Program Center at Bemidji State University serves international students, conducts the international student orientation and serves as a resource throughout enrollment on matters related to F-1 and J-1 student visa status.
A Family Friends program is available to provide international students with an American friend while studying in the U.S. The program provides an easy access point into the American culture. Participation in this program is voluntary.
