Your resource on the Drury campus

Whether you are just starting to explore U.S. universities or are ready to apply, Allen is your main contact for all things Drury International.

He leads international admission, evaluates academic scholarships, handles I‑20s as a Designated School Official (DSO) and DS‑2019s as an Alternate Responsible Officer (ARO), work authorizations, and works with partners and counselors around the world.

  • I‑20 & F‑1 visa: timelines for getting your I‑20, preparing for your visa interview, and what to expect when you arrive.
  • Programs & outcomes: choosing between Architecture, Business, Engineering, Computer Science, and other featured programs, and how Drury Fusion works in practice.
  • Student life: housing options, campus safety, clubs, and what it's like to live in Springfield.
