Why Mills for International Students?
At Mills, you’ll receive a highly personalized, world-class education within a unique community. Your classes will be small and hands-on, full of opportunities to speak your mind and put your learning into practice. Outside of the classroom, you’ll be part of a creative, socially aware, and engaged campus. And don’t forget that we’re located in the San Francisco Bay Area, one of the most stunningly beautiful and culturally rich destinations in the world.
We want academically talented students from around the globe to realize that a life-changing Mills education is within their reach. So in fall 2018, we lowered our tuition by 36%. Our goal is to make Mills as accessible and affordable as possible so students like you can benefit from a top-ranked education.

My first year at Mills was only my second year in the United States—everything was new to me. Thanks to the small class sizes, I’ve gotten to actually know my professors. We’ve developed a deep trust where I feel comfortable asking academic questions, career questions, and even questions about big life choices.Stacy, Undergraduate Student, Jiaxing, China
