On behalf of everyone at International Student Services, welcome to Ashland University! Our office exists for one reason: to help you make a smooth transition to campus life and enjoy your time in the United States to the full. The university offers many advantages to the international student that you’ll appreciate including:

• Recognized academic excellence — The Princeton Review recognizes Ashland as one of the “Best in the Midwest” and U.S. News & World Report placed Ashland in the top tier of Midwest institutions.
• Individual attention — The average class size at Ashland is 15 students per professor. This means you will get to know your professors well and have many opportunities to participate in class.
• Ashland is a safe community — Ashland has the lowest violent crime rate of any city of its size in Ohio.
• Full-time language instruction is available.
• ACCESS, our Center for English studies, provides full-time language instruction and the opportunity for conditional admission to academic studies.
