Lake Superior State University is located in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan following along the St. Mary’s River. Our small town of 14,000 is just a short drive across the International Bridge from our sister city, Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario in Canada, population 77,000.

There are many reasons Canadian and other international students may choose to attend Lake Superior State University, including:

  • Career Opportunities: The United States is a hub for global industry and innovation, offering international students ample opportunities for internships, co-op programs, and post-graduation employment.
  • Proximity (for Canadians): Students from Sault Ste. Marie, ON and the Algoma region can obtain a high quality education while remaining at or close to home.
  • World-wide “One Rate”: LSSU students from across the globe pay the same tuition.
