Office of Undergraduate Admission at the University of Virginia

Welcome! The University of Virginia welcomes applications from international students. Since 1826, when the first international student was enrolled, the University has encouraged citizens of other countries to live, work, and study in an institution created and nurtured by one of the architects of the American experiment in democracy, Thomas Jefferson. Approximately 5 percent of our entering classes are foreign nationals.
