International

At The University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southmost College (UTB/TCS), we welcome international students from other countries to our university community. We value the knowledge and experience they bring which greatly enrich our students.

We know that in many cases moving to another country to attend school is very expensive and requires a great deal of personal and family commitment. Therefore, it is important for international students to begin early and to comply with all the admission and immigration requirements prior to enrolling in classes.

UTB/TSC offers a wide range of programs at the certificate, associate, baccalaureate, and graduate levels.  UTB/TSC serves more than 12,000 students at its main campus located in Brownsville, Texas.  Located in the southmost point of Texas, the campus boasts a semi-tropical and is just 20 miles from the popular beaches of South Padre Island and a few steps from the adventure of the U.S./Mexico border. UTB/TSC is set amid palm trees and resacas on a 380-acre campus that was originally home to the historic Fort Brown.

At UTB/TSC, we are committed to providing future students with assistance throughout the enrollment process.  We are eager to help answer questions about admissions, testing, programs of study, campus life, registration, financial aid or any other area important to beginning your college education.  To get started, apply early for admissions.  This will help ensure you meet deadlines and avoid late fees.
