These programs provide opportunities to study at universities throughout the world. They also allow students to pay tuition at Virginia Tech while taking courses at a university in another country. Most international universities open their entire course selection to exchange students, thereby making it possible for our students to take the courses necessary to meet their graduation requirements from Virginia Tech. These programs take place during the winter interim, spring break, or summer and cover a broad range of subjects. Virginia Tech faculty members organize and lead the courses, which generally provide three to nine credits.
Students can use their federal financial aid to finance exchange and short-term program experiences.
UOIP provides information and services for students interested in Virginia Tech study-abroad programs as well as other international education opportunities.
