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
over 32,000.
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
240 undergraduate and graduate
degree programs and $494 million in
research expenditures each year.
The
university’s
undergraduate
colleges are: College of Agriculture
and Life Sciences; College of
Architecture and Urban 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.
The desire to serve is deeply ingrained
in Virginia Tech’s learning, discovery
and engagement. More than a motto,
Ut Prosim (That I May Serve) is a value
system that guides students’ decisions
and helps mold them into responsible
citizens of the world.
