Growth opportunities

Virginia’s Amazon HQ2 win spurred a $1.1 billion state investment in higher education focused on computer science called the Virginia Tech Talent Investment Program.

More than a dozen higher education institutions across the commonwealth, including Virginia Tech, are working to collectively produce 32,000 graduates in computer science and related fields. Our university is receiving the biggest share of these funds, including support for major new infrastructure and significant faculty growth in Blacksburg and in the Washington, D.C., metro area.
