J-1 Visiting Students

The J-1 Exchange Visitor program is meant to facilitate international exchange between the U.S. and other countries.  Individuals who have received an invitation from a JHU faculty member and are admitted to a JHU school as a Visiting Student per the terms of the JHU Visitor Policy may be eligible for J-1 sponsorship in the Student Non-Degree category.  Visiting Students are individuals who are enrolled in a degree program at an institution of higher education outside of JHU. The J-1 Student Non-Degree category enables individuals from outside of the U.S. to engage in JHU activities such as full-time research and/or coursework. The J-1 Student Non-Degree category has a minimum duration of three weeks and a maximum of two years.
