I-20 Eligible Programs
The Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) has approved Century College to issue Forms I-20 for specific programs (majors). Not all programs at Century College are open to International Students in F-1 status seeking a Form I-20. Students applying to study at Century College in F-1 status must choose a primary program from this list of programs (majors).
Special Applications, Prerequisites, and High-Demand Programs
Century College has several special application programs that international students can apply to. They are:
- Dental Assisting
- Dental Hygiene
- Nursing
- Orthotic and Prosthetic Clinical Applications
- Paramedic
- Radiologic Technology
If you apply to Century College for one of these programs, you will be admitted into a pre-program (i.e., pre-Nursing, pre-Radiological Technology, etc.). You will be required to take prerequisite classes before you can submit a special application to start classes for these programs. These prerequisite classes will take one or more semesters to complete. After completing the required prerequisite classes and any additional requirements, you can submit a special application to start that program.
Each program has a deadline for when you can submit a special application. You are not guaranteed admission into the program, even if you complete the prerequisite classes and apply. These programs are competitive and admit a limited number of students. If you are not accepted into the program, you may need to change your program of study. It is recommended that you meet with your academic advisor while you are taking your prerequisite classes in order to plan for your special application.
If you have questions about what this means for you and your major, please contact IntlAdmissions@century.edu
Nursing AS and Transfer Options
Due to the requirement for F-1 international students to be taking the majority of their courses on-campus, students should be aware that for Nursing AS graduates, there are limited transfer options to complete a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in the St. Paul/Minneapolis metropolitan area of Minnesota. Students who wish to complete a Bachelor of Science in Nursing will likely need to move outside of the St. Paul/Minneapolis metropolitan area after they graduate from Century College.
As noted above, the Nursing program is a special application program. Please review the Nursing program page for more information regarding prerequisites and the special application process.
