Virginia Tech Rising Sophomore Abroad Program (RSAP)

Program Update

Due to personnel changes, the Rising Sophomore Abroad program will not take place in spring 2025. In response to these changes, the College of Engineering is taking the opportunity to reimagine RSAP in a structure that better supports strategic goals of the College and meets students’ requirements for graduation. 

RSAP is expected to return in spring 2027, so please check back for updates in summer 2026.

To explore other study abroad options, visit the Office of Global Engineering, Engagement and Research and the Global Education Office for current offerings and advising support.

“Engineers are meant to be for the people,” Hossain said, “and we can’t grow if we stay stagnant. There's a whole world of people there, and if we stay in our little box, we’ll never get to hear their stories.”
