International Students

General PLNU Vertical 062 Welcome to Point Loma Nazarene University! Throughout its history, PLNU has welcomed students from other nations and cultures. Annually, international students from all areas of the world join the Point Loma community. We have students from more than 20 different countries each year. It is our goal to build a global community by bringing international students together with American students of all ethnic backgrounds to share ideas, values and concerns about our world.

But as an international student, why else should you choose Point Loma Nazarene University?
