Not many careers are as visibly impactful as Engineering. For students who are inventive and inclined to problem-solving, Engineering offers opportunities to tackle some of our biggest challenges.
NOVA's A.S. in Engineering is designed for students who want to pursue careers in various Engineering fields: mechanical, civil, chemical, aeronautical, etc.
Transfer is not the primary goal of an A.S. degree, but transfer resources are available for students interested in applying to senior institutions.
Electives should be selected in conjunction with an academic advisor.
Engineering is part of my DNA, I can fix just about anything mechanical, and if it can fly, you've got my complete focus. I am glad that NOVA is helping me pursue my dreams in Aerospace Engineering by offering the Guaranteed Admission Transfer program to Virginia Tech, so that one day I will be a rocket scientist.
Frank Ricker
Students are advised to work closely with the faculty and counseling staff for program and course scheduling. Electives should be chosen carefully to meet requirements of the transfer institution. The responsibility for proper course selection rests with the student.
