At Duquesne University, we believe it is important to help international students
who want to come to the United States for their education in any way that we can.
We have a dedicated Center for Global Engagement staff who assist students through the application and new student process. Each year,

Make the Center for Global Engagement your first point of contact. We look forward
to serving you as you explore your opportunities at Duquesne.
