Global Learning and VCU REAL graduation requirement 

GEO offers various ways VCU students can fulfill their REAL graduation requirement through global learning experiences such as:

  • Study Abroad:  Students wishing to fulfill the VCU REAL graduation requirement through studying abroad may do so through one of the following three options:
  • Enroll in a VCU credit-bearing faculty-led program that offers a 300-level (or higher) VCU course that has received REAL classification with a REAL attribute of Level 2, 3, or 4 or
  • Enroll in a VCU faculty-led program (for VCU credit or transfer credit) and concurrently enroll in REAL 399 (for 0-3 credits). The VCU study abroad faculty program leader would serve as instructor of record for REAL 399.  Or
  • Participate in a non-VCU credit, non-faculty-led study abroad program and successfully complete VCU Education Abroad’s REAL Co-Curricular Program
