Graduate Bridge Program
The University of Northern Virginia Bridge Program is intended for the international graduate applicant who holds a three-year bachelor's degree from a country where that credential is not deemed equivalent to the four-year U.S. bachelor's degree. By completing a fourth year, or Bridge Program at UNVA, an international student from a recognized foreign institution with a three-year bachelor's degree will have the opportunity to enter graduate study without completing a separate four-year bachelor's degree. As a special benefit, some Bridge Program courses can be applied to the cornerstone curriculum of the graduate programs.
