International Admissions

For over 200 international students from more than 75 countries each year, Luther College provides a world of opportunities.

Students’ paths to Luther—from countries such as Ghana, Nepal, India, China, Japan, Norway, Bolivia, Zambia, Vietnam, and Brazil, to name a few—are as varied as the paths they embark upon at graduation. After four years of study, students leave Luther better prepared to make a difference in their graduate or professional school programs, succeed in the workforce, and serve in the world.

To discover the possibilities waiting for you at Luther, we’ve designed this special site for international students and U.S. students living abroad. Simply click on the links to get started. A world of opportunities awaits you!
