University Center for International Education

The University Center for International Education (UCIE) offers a variety of services to international students and Wright State students interested in international education experiences. The UCIE works with the campus community to ensure an international dimension within the university's three major functions of teaching, research, and service.

The UCIE assists international students and scholars before and during their stay at Wright State. Besides processing admissions and offering orientation to international students, the UCIE also assists with off-campus housing and with immigration regulations, advising, and record keeping. Special educational, cultural, and sports programs for international students are also provided. International students can also participate in an off-campus host family program coordinated by the UCIE.

The UCIE provides opportunities for Wright State students to study, research, and teach abroad. Both American and international students can participate in these programs. Opportunities range from the three-week Ambassador Program, to a summer, semester, or year-long academic program in one of 25 countries around the world. The UCIE maintains a resource center on study abroad opportunities and internship programs.

The UCIE also offers a wide variety of programming for all students, including social gatherings, cultural programs, foreign language conversation hours, international lectures, the annual International Friendship Affair, and many other opportunities to experience an international dimension at Wright State. The UCIE also assists faculty and staff in internationalizing the curriculum on campus and is an advocate for expanding global and comparative perspectives at Wright
