What if you didn’t have to choose a single path of study? College is a way to expand your horizons, and a general education certificate may be the best way to do that. Two semesters are all it takes.
NOVA’s General Education certificate gives you the opportunity to study a broad range of topics: in the Arts, Communication, Science and much more. Build your own curriculum, and talk to an advisor about transferring earned credits to a four-year school.
In 2006, the VCCS Task Force on General Education proposed the following goals for general education competency: Communication, Critical Thinking, Cultural and Social Understanding, Information Literacy, Personal Development, Quantitative Reasoning and Scientific Reasoning.
