As the first community college in Virginia to be designated as a Center of Academic Excellence for two-year institutions (CAE2Y), NOVA’s programs immerse you in course work that set you up for multiple industry certifications. Looking for options? How about our stackable one year Career Study Certificate (C.S.C.) or jump right into the full Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree. Either way results will come quickly with full-time enrollment. Ultimately want a bachelor’s degree? We can do that. We have multiple options for transfer agreements to top four-year institutions.
Students should possess a proficiency in high school English, algebra and geometry, and have computer keyboarding skills.
