2021-2022 Non-Traditional Transfer Pathways

A non-traditional bachelor's degree pathway is designed to accommodate students with less traditional backgrounds, including students who have completed an applied associate degree program (e.g., A.A.S.), or bachelor’s degree programs that are geared towards adult learners.

NOVA recognizes that many students pursing a non-traditional transfer pathway may have credit for prior learning. The credit for prior learning students receive at NOVA may differ from the credits awarded at a four-year institution; therefore, students should also check their transfer institutions’ policies on credit for prior learning when planning their course of study at NOVA.

Students pursuing non-traditional pathways may not be eligible for guaranteed admission. Students should consult with their transfer institutions’ admissions office for guidance.
