Visa requirements may vary based on the university or the study program. Certain university programs may require a J-1 or M-1 student visa and students may not be admitted on an F1 visa. Some specific educational institutions may require an F-1 student visa. For example, the Department of State's Office of Education and Cultural Affairs endorsed programs require a J-1 student visa, and the Student Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) endorsed programs require an F-1 student visa.
