About UVA Programs
Most UVA programs are designed, developed and directed by UVA faculty. The level of immersion on a UVA program can vary widely: from taking courses exclusively with other UVA students, to taking courses at a partner university with local or other study abroad students. While participants are predominantly from UVA, students from other colleges and universities may participate as well. UVA programs are offered primarily during the summer and January terms, though some (like UVA in Valencia programs) are available during the semester and academic year.
About UVA Partner Programs
UVA partner programs are programs administered by a partner organization and include students from a variety of US universities and colleges. UVA provides input on the academic curriculum and coordinates the application process for UVA students. Partner programs will typically include "in affiliation with" a program in the title.
