Where are COA students from?

Our students come from forty-nine states and thirty-eight countries.  COA, while being small, is fortunate to have a student population that is geographically diverse. Not only do our students choose to pursue academic study, research and internships in all corners of the world, but we have one of the highest percentages of international student enrollment in the United States. Coming from many regions, Afghanistan to Namibia, the Maldives to Finland, New Zealand to Ecuador, our international students enliven our campus with a wide range of cultural viewpoints and experiences. This diversity leads to a unique college experience marked by classroom discussion, residential living and social interaction that constantly crosses cultures and pushes boundaries. Our diversity means that all COA students are challenged to consider issues  from a variety of cultural standpoints and to realize the interconnectedness of our world today.
