The Office of International Research, Education, and Development (OIRED) oversees the Education Abroad program at Virginia Tech and manages donor-funded collaborative research around the world. The office also manages the Graduate Certificate in International Research, the Fulbright Program for Faculty, and the Peace Corps on-campus recruitment program.

Education Abroad
Education Abroad sends more than 800 students overseas annually in a variety of programs. The office provides counseling for students and parents in financial aid, credit transfer, and how to fit international study into a four-year college curriculum that may already seem tight. Tech students may continue their education in as many as 40 countries.
