I am looking for engineering schools that restricts some post-graduate courses to US citizens only. Can anyone identify such a DL or B&M school (apart from the military academies)? Thanks
Amberton University This is only obliquely related to your question, but some people might be interested to know: Amberton University does NOT admit international students whose primary intended school of attendance is Amberton University. It does NOT issue student visas -- the university admits only those international students that have already been previously admitted to another US institution and are interested in transferring to Amberton. http://www.amberton.edu/IntStud1.htm The university also says that it is primarily "designed for the mature, working adult who is an English-speaking citizen of the United States of America," imlying that US CITIZENS who don't speak English are NOT welcome to apply.
Huh? I don't think that I've ever heard of *any* US school, in engineering or any other field, that strictly restricted admissions to US citizens only. Even US military service academies admit non-US students; for example, West Point has up to 60 foreign cadets in their "international cadet program". Why would you be looking for a program of this kind?
Re: Huh? I have been queried about the possibility of developing a MS level courses/degree in an ITAR restricted topic.
I've never heard of a US engineering program that excludes foreigners. Even the Naval Postgraduate School accepts them, but they have to be allied military officers. Some NPS classes require security clearances. The National Test Pilot School was forbidden from accepting foreign students for a period of time because of ITAR-like issues, but that was resolved and at least some of the foreigners are back. I don't know the details. You can't be the first engineering educator to face these questions. Maybe your professional association can advise you. And isn't there an office in the DoD or State that handles ITAR? Perhaps they can tell you how other engineering schools manage to stay inside the law while teaching material subject to export controls.
