The Graduate Student at Large (GSAL) and Graduate Student at Large Business (GSALB) International Programs offer qualified international students the opportunity to study on the University of Chicago’s main campus while enrolling for credit in graduate-level courses under a J-1 visa. Students learn alongside UChicago master’s and doctoral students, engaging with distinguished faculty and the University’s internationally recognized culture of rigorous inquiry. Participants earn an official University of Chicago transcript, receive individualized advising, and may request faculty letters of recommendation.
