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.

Due to the global coronavirus pandemic, on-campus residencies are modified as follows, through May 2022:

Students already in the U.S. (continuing ANU students or students transferring to ANU from another U.S. university) attend all residency classes via live videoconference
Students outside the U.S. must attend an on-campus residency during their first term of enrollment. Thereafter, they will attend residencies via live videoconference.

Coming to America may seem like a big change – but ANU has a friendly staff ready to help you adjust to the University and the surrounding areas – providing social and cultural activities, answering questions, and giving advice for whatever you need.
