International Students

International students requiring an F-1 visa must demonstrate an ability to pay for one full year of tuition and living expenses at Franklin Pierce University. Students must attend Franklin Pierce as full-time students in approved programs and attend face to face classes as required by the visa regulations. Franklin Pierce defines a full-time graduate student as taking a minimum of two (2) courses per term (one course must meet face to face), for a minimum of three (3) terms per year. This equates to 18 credits per year.  Undergraduates must take a minimum of 12 credits per semester (at least 9 credits must meet face to face each semester).
