Office of Undergraduate Admission, U.Va.

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.

Visas and Studying in the U.S.

If you are an international student currently studying in the United States, you must complete a Foreign Student Advisor (FSA) Form (MS WORD).

Meet Two Deans

Meet two of the deans who work with international students: Parke Muth and Ben Cullop.

The two of us are happy to answer any and all questions about admission to and academic life at U.Va. If you have questions about student life we will be happy to direct you to a current student who has a better perspective on what it is like to live and learn here. Parke will be traveling to Asia this fall; you'll find Ben in Europe and the Middle East. If you have specific questions, please don't hesitate to email either one of us.

Proficiency in English

Students who are bilingual in English and another language and have scored well on the verbal portion of the SAT may be exempted from the TOEFL and IELTS.

Students whose first language is not English should take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS).
