Virginia Tech’s $504 million research portfolio ranks among America’s top 50 research universities, according to the National Science Foundation. The 2,600-acre main campus lies within Virginia’s Blue Ridge and Allegheny mountains. Other facilities include the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine and Research Institute in Roanoke; research and graduate programs in the greater D.C metropolitan area; a 1,800-acre research farm, and a study-abroad site in Switzerland.
Virginia Tech recognizes human nature’s proclivity to seek answers and solutions. Students are challenged to discover new knowledge across disciplines while developing expertise in their major fields. We recognize the joy of knowledge for knowledge’s sake and emphasize the intentional integration of theory, self-learning, and collaboration with diverse people. Students learn by doing in the classroom, on the job, or through purpose-driven service, a commitment to our motto, Ut Prosim (That I May Serve). The university values innovation and consistently ranks among the top 15 schools in America in the number of patents received. Faculty are encouraged to declare intellectual property. The university seeks licensees to push campus discoveries into the marketplace.
