Interested in Study Abroad?

Study abroad programs offer opportunities for short-term immersion in the language and culture of other countries. Currently, programs are available to Canada, Guatamala, Spain and Italy, and through the European Heritage Institute, Austria and France. VCU is a member of the International Student Exchange Program (ISEP) which offers a junior year abroad at one of 40 universities worldwide. Exchange Programs such as the MBA exchange with a French Business School in Marseilles, opened to students combining studies in foreign languages and business, will allow you to gain more knowledge in your field while discovering fascinating places (France, Argentina, others...).
