Program details to confirm

The dated university rate sheet lists $5,000 for Intensive English in fall, spring or summer and shows no mandatory program fee for that option. Medical insurance, books, housing, dining and other living expenses are separate estimates. The source provides calendar dates but does not state an exact number of instructional weeks, so no weekly tuition is inferred.

Do you need a visa for this program?

For this course at Virginia Tech Language and Culture Institute, a weekly hour count does not by itself establish permission to study as a visitor. Language training generally uses the student route; the visitor exception is limited to a short recreational, non-credit course during a tourist visit. Confirm the actual course and your circumstances before booking.

  • Ask what housing is available, its total cost and the commute to your actual classroom.
  • Read the cancellation and refund terms before making a payment.
