NEW! GAA with VT’s No. Virginia Campus for BIT-Cybersecurity Mgt. and Analytics, B.S.

NOVA and Virginia Tech (VT) are excited to announce the development of a new Guaranteed Admission Agreement (GAA), designed to assist students interested in pursuing the Business Information Technology-Cybersecurity Management and Analytics, B.S. (BIT-Cyber) degree at VT’s Northern Virginia campus. This GAA details not only the requirements a student must meet to be granted acceptance to this program but also outlines the most efficient pathways a student should follow to maximize the transferrability of their credits. This partnership provides students with the unique opportunity to earn a bachelor’s degree from VT without leaving the Northern Virginia region!

• Complete all steps of the formal admissions application process by the appropriate deadlines for the intended term of entry (fall or spring).
• Earn either a NOVA Business Administration, A.S. or Information Technology, A.S. degree.
• Achieve a NOVA cumulative GPA of 3.0.
