While travel abroad options are currently limited due to the pandemic, there are still ways for you to add international experiences to your academic career. Virtual study abroad is a new option that recreates much of the study abroad experience and allows you to learn about a new culture, connect with the experts and students from around the world, and take classes that you otherwise might not be able to take at home.  

Below you can find the list of some of the Virtual Study Abroad and Exchange options that are available to you as a VSU student. Many of these options can be pursued while taking VSU courses face to face and online. For more information, contact us at studyabroad@valdosta.edu.
