Due to the worldwide COVID-19 situation, UVA Global First will not run its Fall 2020 programs. As one of our flagship education abroad offerings for students, we look forward to resuming operations in Fall 2021 for the entering class. For students entering UVA this year (Fall 2020), there will be many opportunities to study abroad during your UVA degree program. Visit UVA Education Abroad for more information.
