Cultural Diversity

Elmira College has always valued education that includes the perspectives of diverse people. A large part of this commitment involves welcoming international students to our campus.

We are licensed to educate international students. Ten percent of our student body comes from 31 countries outside the United States.

Our small student/faculty ratio (12:1) makes it possible for all students, U.S. and international alike, to get the attention they need to succeed. Meet with faculty one-on-one, ask questions in class, and learn what a small American community is all about-people helping each other make the most out of their lives.

We also offer rigorous academic programs, English as a Second Language classes, 100+ student organizations, plus an International Student Director to help with any issues you might have.
