Students progress through the VITP in cohorts. This means that
students take classes with the same people each semester ensuring that
graduates leave the program not only with a broad range of skills but also
with friends and colleagues they can turn to after their program has ended.
Cohorts begin each fall. The deadline for students to apply for early
acceptance is November 10. The deadline for late acceptance to the program
is June 1.
Unique Features
There are many things that make NCCU's VITP special. NCCU's faculty
are top notch and express passion for helping individuals who are blind and
visually impaired
learn and travel independently. There is also the
collaboration with North Carolina's Department of Public Instruction and the
Governor Morehead School for the Blind. Our status as an HBCU allows
students to experience multiculturalism in a way that most students do not get
the opportunity to experience. The geography of North Carolina is also
unique, located in Research Triangle; NCCU students can to travel to the
beach or the mountains within just an afternoon's drive.
