Northwestern University brings students and scholars from around the world to engage in research, graduate studies and intellectual exchange. To make its international visitors feel at home during their tenure, the Graduate School offers linguistic and cultural support for the international scholars through a suite of programs. In August of 2000, the newest of these programs, the International Summer Institute (ISI), was created in order to ease the transition to life in the US for international graduate students.
Our mission is to provide linguistic, emotional, academic and practical support to entering Northwestern Ph.D. students by means of intensive instruction in the English Language; social programs that delight, enlighten and challenge students to use their language skills; and forums that address the practical side of integrating into an American university, and the local culture.
