VIC Description

There are a few things that distinguish Virginia Intermont College in Bristol, Virginia from the many other schools out there.

First of all, the small student body population makes for an intimate educational and social atmosphere. Virginia Intermont is also one of the few schools in the United States to offer a bachelor’s degree in Equine Studies.

Other subject areas in which students may obtain a bachelor’s degree include a combination of professional and academic majors, such as Theatre Arts, Photography, Classics, Pre-Law, Religious Studies, Social Work and Business Administration.

Since Virginia Intermont is small and the student community is tight-knit, students can be sure that they will get the one-on-one time with their professors in their smaller classes.

Student life offers a smattering of different activities and interest areas. A campus theatre and recital hall, art studios, a school chapel, a fitness center and a student services complex featuring career counseling are some examples of campus life offerings.

Students applying for admission to such programs as Creative Writing, Theatre performance and Fine Art will need to either audition or submit samples of creative work as part of their application. Other students applying for admission will submit transcripts, test scores, a recommendation letter and personal essay.

Many Virginia Intermont students receive some form of financial aid, however you must qualify before receiving awards such as grants or loans.
