Honors Mission Statement

The Mission of the NOVA Honors Program

Our mission is to provide the high-achieving students at NOVA with early undergraduate opportunities for unique and interactive classroom experiences.

The Honors Program curriculum is designed to meet the four components of Academic Rigor, Leadership, Enrichment, and Research.

We recognize the high achieving NOVA students by offering them an opportunity to complete a curriculum designed around the following principles:

  • Challenging, unique and dynamic classroom experience
  • Direct access to faculty to build a strong academic resume and competitive recommendations.
  • Networking with other high-achieving students.
  • Early undergraduate opportunities for research and presentation at local and regional conferences.
