International Students

Each year, NMC welcomes about 35 international students to its campuses. We are a two-year community college, providing the first two years of an undergraduate bachelor’s degree as well as a variety of occupational/career programs. You will find “Programs of Study” and “Course Descriptions” in our catalog. These also contain information about NMC’s Aviation-Pilot Training Program, which leads to an Associate in Applied Science Degree.

NMC enrolls approximately 4,500 students at its three Traverse City campuses. We encourage the application of students from other nations who show promise of profiting from their educational opportunities and experiences in the United States.

We look forward to supporting you and provide the following services:

  • Let us know your arrival time at Cherry Capital Airport (TVC) and you will be met by a representative from NMC.
  • Approval for on-campus employment
  • Community and cultural orientation
  • Assistance with obtaining visas, optional practical training, and with transferring to 4-year colleges and universities.
  • International Club activities, such as small group outings to surrounding communities
  • Liaison to other college support services
  • Liaison to community groups

Northwestern Michigan College recognizes the importance of global awareness and currently offers study abroad opportunities for NMC students in Germany.
