To make earning a college degree more convenient, the Manassas Campus of Northern Virginia Community College plans to offer evening classes in several locations around the region. The idea behind NOVA Next Door is simple: hold college classes close to where people live.
The program will start with eight classes at four high schools and expand as demand warrants. For the spring 2014 semester, NOVA has scheduled two classes each at Battlefield High School in Haymarket, Brentsville District High School in Nokesville, Manassas Park High School and Patriot High School in Nokesville.
The courses will cover the same material, award the same credits, and transfer as easily as classes taken at the Manassas Campus. In addition to NOVA Next Door, the Manassas Campus will continue its popular Sunrise College which offers 6:30 a.m. classes for students who have work or other obligations later in the day. During the first semester of Sunrise College, more than 200 students took advantage of the early morning classes. Registration for NOVA’s spring semester is taking place now.
