Welcome International Students!

Make Finlandia your home away from home.

At Finlandia, you can study English as a Second Language in a one-year certificate program. Students who complete the Finlandia ESL program may continue studying at Finlandia, or transfer to another university for further studies.

If you do not need additional English language instruction, you may apply directly to one of our undergraduate programs in Nursing, Physical Therapist Assistant, Business, Art & Design, Elementary Education, or one of several Liberal Studies degrees.
