A Message from the Associate Vice President

Welcome to Texas State University! We are very excited that you have come to our page, whether it’s to explore coming to join us here in San Marcos, to get supported as a current student, to explore your options abroad, or to partner with us. Our Office of International Affairs is here to help you in your endeavors.  

International Affairs directs and supports the activity of four constituent units: Education Abroad, International Recruitment and Partnerships, International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS), and Texas State’s Intensive English Program (TSIE).
