Robert Morris reviews applications on a rolling basis. International applicants should apply by 1 June 2027 for fall and by 1 November 2026 for spring to leave time for the I-20 and visa.
Undergraduates start in fall (August) or spring (January), though aviation admits mainly in the fall. Data analytics, cybersecurity, engineering management and the MBA admit for both fall and spring.
You need an F-1 student visa. The Office of International Services issues your Form I-20 after you accept the offer and submit proof of funding. Then pay the SEVIS fee, complete the DS-160 and book an interview at a US embassy or consulate.
Data analytics, cybersecurity, engineering management, the MBA and aviation attract the most international applicants. Graduate admission needs a bachelor's degree with a GPA of at least 3.0 and TOEFL 79 or IELTS 6.5; the GRE and GMAT are not required.
Yes. International undergraduates are automatically considered for merit scholarships based on their grades, and some graduate programmes offer partial awards. Check the financial aid pages for current amounts.
