Hunter College, City University of New York, is one of the most diverse colleges in the United States. International students from all corners of the world are enrolled as F-1 and J-1 Exchange students.

Our Mission

Our mission is to support international students and exchange visitors in their cultural and educational transition to the College. The ISO can assist you in reaching your educational goals by informing you about your rights and responsibilities regarding your immigration status in the United States and creating a supportive environment. We help to ensure your legal compliance with the Department of Homeland Security, the State Department and the Students and Exchange Visitors Program (SEVP).
