ORLANDO, FL – Valencia College has been approved by the U.S. Department of State to accept Exchange Visitors on a J visa. The program enables foreign students, professors, short-term scholars, and others who are already studying or working at an educational institution abroad to gain field experience which complements their academic studies or career.
The Exchange Visitor Program seeks to broaden mutual understanding between U.S. citizens and foreign-born citizens through educational and cultural exchange. In addition, J exchange programs provide participants with a valuable opportunity to learn the language, culture and educational system of a foreign country, thereby developing lasting and meaningful relationships.
Student visitors to Valencia can earn a two-year Associate in Arts (A.A.) or Associate in Science (A.S.) degree, or they can come for short-term academic training field experience. In the academic training program, students can enroll in a six-month certificate course and be placed with a local employer in a position that relates to their major area of study. The program is designed to help students apply the knowledge and skills learned in the classroom to a real-world environment.
For additional information about the program, please contact Lisa Eli, Director, Continuing and International Education, at 407-582-6649 or leli@valenciacollege.edu or visit valenciacollege.edu/international.
