International Students

We welcome you to Mountain State University! Students come from almost every continent in the world to study at MSU. In recent years we have enrolled students from over 40 countries.

Mountain State University's main campus is located in the city of Beckley, West Virginia, in the central portion of the Southeastern United States. While it is surrounded by rural areas, Beckley is only one hour away by car from the state's capital city of Charleston and five hours from the nation's capital city of Washington, D.C.

The hospitality and safety of the community, a four-season climate, and ease of highway travel combine to make Beckley an ideal place for an international student experience.

Mountain State University's academic programs span a wide range of fields, but they're focused on preparing students for success. That means professional studies that meet current and future employment needs. It also means the skills that build both long-term career growth and personal satisfaction - since success means much more than just the work you do.
