The Advantages of Getting Your Associates Degree at NOVA

  • Students often will be considered to have attained junior standing.
  • Studies show that people with an associate degree earn up to 25% more each year than someone who is doing the same job without a degree.
  • Degree programs provide students with practical, up-to-date information of certain industries and equip them with skills that are in demand.
  • The fact that having a degree opens more doors for your career means that you have the power to determine which doors you want to step through.
  • Articulation agreements with many 4-year schools make it easier the degree as a whole to transfer rather than course-by-course.
  • Most general education requirements are met if you transfer with an A.S. or A.A. degree at NVCC.
  • Many four-year colleges/universities prefer to see that you can accomplish a goal. 
4-Year Colleges/Universities are becoming more competitive.  It is usually easier to get in with a transferable degree.
