International Student Services

Coming to the United States for your college education is probably one of the most influential steps you'll ever make in your life.

The process of being admitted to an American university is time-consuming, complicated, and sometimes intimidating--especially if you've never traveled outside of your home country before. At Penn State DuBois we work very closely with you to make sure you have all the support, resources and skills you'll need to achieve your academic goals. Penn State DuBois is one of fifteen campuses across the state that are recommended for international students. Our intimate campus setting guarantees you personal attention and support, and our experience with studying and living abroad ensures you can always talk to someone who understands your unique needs as an international student.

Tharren Thompson is the International Student Services Coordinator for Penn State DuBois. A native of the DuBois area, he has traveled extensively and has had opportunity to live and work in India and the U.K. He has experience with applying for visas, immigrating to a new country and learning to get around in a new culture and a new language. From meeting you at the airport when you arrive in Pennsylvania to helping you arrange for housing, banking and shopping, Tharren will personally assist you in making the transition to studying and living in DuBois. You may contact him anytime at [email protected], by phone at (814) 372-3043, or on Skype at tharren.thompson.
