Why consider UCM?

UCM offers programs across business, technology, education, health, arts and sciences. Applicants should match the exact program and campus with the international admissions route.

Programs and academic fit

Check UCM’s undergraduate or graduate catalog for program availability, prerequisites and additional materials. Requirements and deadlines change by student type and academic department.

Use the official program finder or academic catalog to confirm that your intended degree, concentration and campus are available for your intake. Graduate applicants should check department-level prerequisites, tests, materials and deadlines separately.

International admission

Application rules differ by undergraduate, transfer and graduate level. Typical materials may include academic records, English translations, proof of English proficiency under the current policy, passport identification and program-specific documents. An English-test score, GPA or application fee shown on an old third-party page may no longer be correct.

Follow the official international admission instructions for UCM. Submit official or certified records exactly as requested and check whether graduate materials must also be reviewed by the academic department.

Cost, scholarships and financial documents

Build a complete budget covering tuition, mandatory fees, health insurance, housing, meals, books, transport and personal expenses. Your actual cost can vary by degree level, credit load, program fees, housing and scholarship. Use the official cost and tuition information for the relevant academic year.

UCM publishes academic-year resident, nonresident and program-specific rates plus cost calculators. International applicants should use nonresident and program-relevant figures and add mandatory and living expenses.
