Albany State accepts international applications on a rolling basis. Apply by around June for fall and October for spring to give time for the I-20 and visa appointment.
Most business programmes admit students in fall (August) and spring (January).
It's the F-1 student visa. Get your I-20 from Albany State University first (they need your deposit and bank documents), then pay the SEVIS fee, complete the DS-160 and attend the visa interview. Book the interview early in peak season.
Accounting, management, supply chain and logistics, marketing and the MBA are the main business options. Undergraduates need secondary school records and IELTS 6.0 or TOEFL 61. The MBA needs a bachelor's degree and may ask for the GMAT or GRE.
Albany State offers some institutional scholarships, and graduate assistantships are occasionally open to international MBA students. Awards are limited, so plan your budget without them.
