The Leader In Recruiting Students From The Middle East

Global Vision is the most experienced, most successful and largest resource for undergraduate and graduate students from 10 Middle East countries. Led and staffed by Arabic-speaking educators, trained and experienced both in the Arab world and in the United States, Global Vision provides cross-cultural expertise for Arab students and colleges and universities in the English-speaking world.

For colleges and universities, Global Vision USA provides school marketing, student counseling, tour follow up activities and other services you need to recruit and maintain high performing undergraduates and graduates. For students, we offer everything you need to study and succeed in the U.S.

In 2003 Global Vision placed 450 Middle Eastern students in colleges and universities in the United Kingdom and Canada. Since then, student placements have risen steadily. Last year Global Vision and Bridge International, its sister organization, placed 1,300 students from the Middle East.
