Counselors

Welcome Counselors!

There are many excellent liberal arts universities in the United States, but you may know a student who would thrive at an American university located outside the US.

Non US Counselors: JCU's Admissions Office welcomes inquiries from international students. If you do not find the information you need below, please ask us directly: admissions@johncabot.edu.

John Cabot University is one of the many regionally accredited American liberal arts universities abroad. (See the Association of American International Colleges and Universities www.aaicu.org for a complete list).

Students who choose to take this more unusual international path and come to JCU have described themselves as explorers, intellectuals, involved, risk-takers, passionate, and cosmopolitan. Our students are able to express their individuality while sharing an appreciation of diversity. They have a desire to learn about the world, they are action-oriented and innovative, and they follow their own self-made paths into careers, graduate school, and life.

John Cabot University is an excellent undergraduate starting point for students who wish to obtain a solid liberal arts education AND develop an international resume that distinguishes them from the crowd.
