International Applicants

What to Know Before Applying

Please read the following section before starting the application process.

  • We offer a wide range of flexible programs in business and management that allow you to attend classes full- or part-time. Classes are offered evenings and weekends and are scheduled at four locations throughout the Baltimore-Washington area.
  • Due to the nature of our programs, you will need to register for classes at more than one campus if you are full-time student. We recommend that you have a car, since university transportation is not available between campuses, and public transportation is limited.
  • No financial aid is available at this time for international students. Please see the Loans and Scholarships section for information about scholarships available from private organizations to some international students.
  • As an international student, you are charged the same tuition rates as a US student. Costs for courses vary by program and location. Please see Tuition and Fees for specific information.
  • As an F-1 student, you need to show proof that you can afford all tuition and living expenses for one academic year to receive an I-20. The current amounts are:
  • We do not provide on-campus housing for any of our students. You may find it helpful to visit the Off Campus Housing Office of Johns Hopkins University to locate housing near the Homewood Campus in northern Baltimore City. Also visit the Housing section for other communities in Maryland, Washington, DC and Northern Virginia.
  • In order to receive a student (F-1) visa, you must be fully admitted to a degree program well in advance of the start of the semester (read about our deadlines).
  • Full-time status/full course of study is defined at the Carey Business School as enrolled in minimally 9 credits each fall and minimally 9 credits each spring semester for graduate study and minimally 12 credits each fall and minimally 12 credits each spring semester for undergraduate study.
  • We do not issue certificates of eligibility (Form I-20) for provisional acceptance to a degree program nor do we issue an I-20 for any of the certificate programs.
  • As an F-1 student enrolled in a full-course of study, you will complete your degree program within 2-3 years depending upon the program and other factors.
  • In order to comply with the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) regulations, if you are a newly enrolled F-1 student, you can only begin your program in the fall or spring semester. You cannot begin in a summer semester.
