TTU Home Office of International Affairs

Office of International Affairs Divisions & Sections
Because of the rapidly changing, increasingly interdependent world and global marketplace, Texas Tech University strives to maximize educational opportunities for the persons it serves in order that we all might become more knowledgeable of other countries and peoples, appreciative of cultural diversity, and capable of functioning as internationally competent individuals. The Office of International Affairs (OIA) and the International Cultural Center (ICC) provide a myriad of far-reaching services for TTU and the multiple and diverse communities served by the University.
In addition to the main office, International Affairs also consists of the following divisions: International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS), International Cultural Center Operations, Study Abroad (SAB), and the International Center for Arid & Semi Arid Land Studies (ICASALS). Also located in the International Cultural Center is the College of Education's K-12 International Education Outreach Program. The Vice Provost for the Office of International Affairs is Ambassador Tibor P. Nagy, Jr.

	International Student and Scholar Services The Office of International Affairs welcomes scholars and students from around the world. The Office provides orientation, counseling and services to international students and scholars in immigration, financial, personal and cross-cultural issues. It operates the University's F-1 Student and J-1 Exchange Visitor programs to facilitate study, research and teaching. It acts for the University in filing employment-based applications for H-1B, O-1 and Permanent Resident status in the United States. Other operations include Alumni relations and outreach and sponsored student advisement and coordination.

The purpose of ICASALS is to stimulate, coordinate and implement teaching, research, and public service activities concerning all aspects of the world's arid and semiarid regions, their people and their problems with special emphasis on water issues.
