American National University

Study in the United States at a University with a Distinguished History of More than 130 Years

If you wish to study in America, American National University (ANU) is a great fit for international students. We look forward to joining you at the start of your new adventure in America. ANU has welcomed students from over 100 countries who have embarked on new futures through undergraduate and graduate programs at ANU.

For international students, we offer hybrid programs that meet all SEVP requirements for students on F-1 visa, with on-campus residencies every 10 weeks.

On May 31, 2022, The Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) reissued its guidance for the 2022-23 academic year to clarify that the guidance only applies to nonimmigrant students who were actively enrolled at a U.S. school on March 9, 2020, and have continuously complied with the terms of their nonimmigrant status. Students who enrolled after March 9, 2020, must adhere to SEVP’s existing regulations regarding online learning, found at 8 C.F.R. 214.2(f)(6). Accordingly, we have updated our plan for delivery of education through in-person residency classes at American National University campus locations in Virginia and Kentucky.

  • Beginning with Term 225 (June 19, 2022), nonimmigrant F-1 students who were actively enrolled at a US institution after March 9, 2020 will return to in-person residency classes.
  • Nonimmigrant F-1 students who were actively enrolled at a US school on March 9, 2020 will continue to attend their residency classes via Zoom for the remainder of the 2022-2023 school year.

There are several ways (see below) our international students demonstrate their proficiency in the English language – but even if you do not meet one of these requirements – American National University has an English as a Second Language learning program available to help our international students get to the level they need in order to succeed in their classes. Once you have submitted your application, you can be provisionally accepted into a program and enrolled in a course at our English Language Institute that will help you build the foundation you need to succeed in an English-speaking educational program.
