Overview
Virginia International University (VIU) is a private, non-profit university located in Fairfax, Virginia, minutes from Washington, DC. VIU currently offers graduate, undergraduate programs in areas like Business, Management, Computer Science, Education, Public Admisnistration and International Relations as well as certificates in a variety of professional and technical fields, including TESOL (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages) and English as a second language (ESL). Our student body comes from more than 60 different countries. VIU offers tuition scholarships to high-potential students because we believe that higher education should also be available to those who do not have the necessary funds to pursue it.
