The Office of International Education (OIE) promotes intercultural understanding, respect and empathy between people of different cultures, worldviews and global backgrounds. This work supports UVM's commitment to people and planet, and our institution's mission to prepare students to be accountable leaders in a global community. 

As part of UVM's division of International Programs and Partnerships, we support students in having rich educational, professional and personal experiences outside their home countries. We also provide the advising and support necessary for foreign national visiting scholars and employees to successfully undertake their professional objectives here at UVM, supporting UVM in attracting and retaining talent from around the globe. 

Our work is structured in four functional areas: Study Abroad, Travel Study, International Student Services, and International Scholar and Employee Services. 

Across our team, we align ourselves with Our Common Ground and are committed to ongoing learning, a respect for people and planet, and a belief in the value of international education.
