Significant
international experience
is an important part of a VMI education. To help facilitate this, VMI offers
summer
and
semester
study abroad opportunities. Cadets are also guided through how to maximize financial assistance opportunities, including scholarships, to fund these opportunities.
International students
- known as cadets at VMI - have the option of attending full-time for all four years of a cadetship or attending for one semester through one of the Institute's exchange programs. For both sets of students, VMI's time-honored traditions and rigorous systems can have a profound impact and help guide these students toward future success.
All VMI-sponsored international travel must be
registered through the Office of Global Education
. Our team is ready to assist with documentation and procedures for cadets, faculty, and staff.
Cadets who travel abroad - and those who choose to come to VMI from around the world - offer a unique perspective of life at and supported by No Ordinary College. Stay up to date on the latest adventures and opportunities by reading

What Participants Say
“The unique balance of real-world experience and classroom discussion was more conducive to learning than standard education models. The interactions I had with the local people made this trip much more immersive and meaningful than it would have been otherwise. Frequently going out and visiting new locations helped me better understand the Irish culture and the significance of studying it within a historical context.”
