Dedicated to its motto, Ut Prosim (That I May Serve), Virginia Tech takes
a hands-on, minds-on approach to education, preparing scholars to be
leaders in their fields and communities. Since its founding as a land-grant
college in 1872, Virginia Tech has grown to an enrollment of about 33,000.
With a strong presence in the National Capital Region, Roanoke, and
on the main campus in Blacksburg, Virginia, as well as an international
campus in Europe, Virginia Tech offers the widest range of degree
choices in Virginia and is the state’s leading research institution. Tech
offers approximately 250 undergraduate and graduate degree programs
and $504 million in research expenditures each year. The university’s
undergraduate colleges are the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences,
College of Architecture andUrban Studies, College of Engineering, College
of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences, College of Natural Resources and
Environment, College of Science, and the Pamplin College of Business.
At the postgraduate level is the Graduate School, the Virginia-Maryland
College of Veterinary Medicine, and the Virginia Tech Carilion School of
Medicine, a public-private partnership with Carilion Clinic in Roanoke.
Through defined Destination Areas and Strategic Growth Areas,
Tech scholars seek to address complex global challenges. First, we look
outside Virginia Tech and into the future for difficult problems of national
and global importance. Then, we invest resources to build and support
world-class groups of faculty that transcend our disciplinary strengths.
Destination Areas create the agile and vibrant environment that makes
Virginia Tech the “destination” for the people and resources we need to
make a difference. Taking students to the next level by helping them solve
real-world problems, Tech professors have a reputation for imagining the
next great thing – from blind-driver cars to energy-conscious homes –
and then making it happen. Faculty members and students, including
undergraduates, are involved in research projects in fields ranging from
biotechnology to urban planning.
Virginia Tech’s Moss Arts Center presents renowned artists from around
the globe and from close to home, with a special focus on experiences
that expand cultural awareness and deepen understanding. The center is
creating a thriving creative community fueled by inspiration, where patrons
have meaningful experiences, enjoying arts of the highest caliber in a wide
variety of forms.
The desire to serve is deeply ingrained in Virginia Tech’s learning,
discovery and engagement. More than a motto, Ut Prosim is a value system
that guides students’ decisions and helps mold them into responsible
citizens of the world.
