Admissions  International Students

Musicians Institute is authorized under federal law to enroll nonimmigrant alien students. Musicians Institute follows a policy of equal opportunity in all of its educational activities, admissions and employment and does not discriminate because of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, physical handicap or marital status.

MI's International Student Office assists international students in immigration and personal matters. A few important regulations that apply to all international students include:

• Sufficient Funds: All international students must submit an official letter from the student's, parent's or sponsor's bank certifying that there are enough funds available for payment of tuition and living expenses during the study period. All funds sent to MI must be in US dollars.
• English Documents: All documents must be in English or accompanied by a certified English translation of the document.
• Student Visas: A non-immigrant F-1 student visa (for Bachelor and Associate Degree programs) or an M-1 student visa (for Certificate and Encore programs) is required. An I-20 immigration form will be issued to the student upon meeting all entrance and financial requirements. The student must take the I-20 form to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in his or her country of residence to obtain a student visa in order to enter the United States.
• Full-time status: All international students must maintain “full time” status in order to satisfy student visa requirements.
