   Getting in

   International applicants should apply through the university’s official admissions process and check the current entry requirements on the official website. The available information does not give country-specific admission rules, document lists, or deadlines, so confirm those directly with the admissions office before applying.

   What it costs

   The university does not publish a tuition fee range for international students in the available information; confirm the current rate with its admissions office. Living costs will depend on housing, transport, food, and personal spending in Raleigh, North Carolina, so budget separately for those expenses.

   Coming from abroad

   The language of instruction is not stated. Before applying, confirm whether your intended programme is open to international students, what English-language evidence is required, what visa documents you need, and whether the university offers any support for arrival and enrolment.

   How it compares

   With 2,515 universities in the United States, Shaw University sits in a very large national market, so its smaller published offer makes it different from many broad-spectrum institutions. Its main distinguishing point is its identity as a historically Black university in Raleigh and its limited set of diploma-level programmes.
