Welcome to International & Exchange Programs (OIEP) at New Mexico Tech! I'm Brandon Samter, the Director of services to both our international students who have come here from outside the United States and our domestic students who have an interest in study-away experiences. These are some of the activities centered in the OIEP:

• Admission of undergraduate international students
• Advising of all international students, especially regarding immigration regulations
• Global Village Day, our annual international fair and exhibit
• International Coffee/Tea Hours and occasional seminars on international topics
• Study-abroad with exchange-partner universities in Mexico and other countries
• Study-away with U.S. and Canadian partner universities through the National Student Exchange program

For international students:
If you are an international student in the process of getting admitted for undergraduate study (for the B.S. degree) and you have questions about that process, please see our FAQ's - Frequently Asked Questions; you will probably find your answer there. If not, contact us at international_undergrad@admin.nmt.edu. Make sure you have read all the documents available here.

If you are an international graduate student in the process of getting admitted for M.S. or Ph.D. study, please read the information available on the graduate pages and contact the Graduate Office if you have questions about admission.

If you are already admitted to Tech, as either an undergraduate or graduate student, and you want to know the details about visas, immigration, travel to Socorro, and getting settled at Tech, please click on the Travel and Arrival at Tech link to the right of your screen.

For domestic students seeking study-away opportunities:
If you are a domestic student wanting to see a little more of the world, our opportunities to study away are growing:

• National Student Exchange
• One-to-one Exchange with International Partner Universities
• Study abroad through the New Mexico International Education Consortium
• Direct Enrollment Abroad

For more info, just click on Study-Away Opportunities at the right.

Remember: If you can't find answers to your questions here or at the links provided, you are always welcome to call (505/835-5022) or e-mail me at bsamter@admin.nmt.edu for help. Or, if you are already on campus, drop by for a chat in the Fidel Center!
