INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
LEARN FROM ANYWHERE
Mosaic Christian College (MCC) welcomes students from around the world to join our fully online, Christ-centered learning community. Our 100% online programs are designed to provide accessible, flexible education regardless of a student’s geographic location. As an institution committed to academic excellence and student success, MCC has established the following guidelines for international applicants, including English proficiency requirements, to ensure readiness for online learning.
Visa Policy – No Student Visas Provided
Because MCC operates exclusively as an online institution with no residential or on-campus requirements, we do not issue student visas (F-1 or any other type) for international students. Our programs are accessible from any country with a reliable internet connection, allowing students to pursue their education from their home country or any location of their choosing.
Applicants should understand that enrollment at MCC does not qualify students to apply for a U.S. student visa, as there is no in-person requirement to attend classes. International students are responsible for ensuring that participation in an online degree program from a U.S.-based institution is permissible under the regulations of their home country.

Accreditation and Degree Recognition

While our degrees are recognized by ASIC, students should verify degree recognition and equivalency requirements with their home country’s education authorities before applying.
