Are you a Global Nomad?

Someone who has grown up in several different countries? If so, we believe we are just the school YOU are looking for!

If someone asks you where your home is and you answer "When?" or "Which home?" you are probably a Global Nomad, someone who has grown up in different parts of the world, usually because of your parents’ mobile professions. Or you may be like our student Josh, whose parents are American but who grew up entirely in just one other country. He is a Global Nomad too.

You are part of a very special undergraduate population, with valuable perspectives and needs — needs which are unlike those of the average U.S. college student. We understand that. We’ve been working with Global Nomads for a very long time. So, if you are interested in preparing for international life in the 21st century world, in a setting which you can really call "home," we have a school you should know about: The University of the Pacific’s School of International Studies.

Should U.S. - American Universities Treat U.S. - American Global Nomads As "Hidden Immigrants" or "American Students"? Pacific Two-Track Program For U.S.-Passport Global Nomads says "Yes, Depending on their needs."
