Welcome to WVU International Programs

West Virginia University is moving toward a global destiny. International Programs is at the heart of this strategy to create global corridors around the world. The staff of International Programs is here to assist in planning teaching, research, and service that integrate global citizenry and understanding into the fabric of our academic enterprise.

We are here to facilitate and coordinate all of WVU’s international activities. We are also here to ensure best practices in such activities and to assist in ensuring academic viability as well as safety and security wherever WVU extends its reach. We work closely in coordination with the Office of International Students and Scholars, International Admissions, the Intensive English Program and academic units across the university to meet these goals.

Important Information

All WVU students (graduate, undergraduate, and professional) must register with OIP before traveling internationally on university related activities. OIP Personnel will assist you in planning all aspects of your international experience, including such things as required insurance, passports, visas, health preparedness, and academic credits. Please be aware that if you are traveling for academic credit and you fail to register with this office, you will be denied credit upon your return to WVU. For more information on this policy, see the WVU Undergraduate Catalog (Course Catalog)
