International Students - Western Seminary International Students Western Seminary Admissions International Students International Students Join Our Growing Community of Global Students! Western Seminary currently serves students from 24 different countries. We believe that training men and women for strategic ministry roles is not just an academic exercise, but one that matures the believer and ignites their passion for Jesus and their heart to serve the Church worldwide. Thanks to our Global course offerings, including Online LIVE and standard asynchronous online courses, students can study from their own ministry contexts anywhere in the world. Note: At this time, we are only accepting students to come to our Portland campus as F1 visa holders in the MA in Counseling and doctoral programs.
