NOVA by the Numbers Provides At-a-Glance View of College’s Work

Today’s topic is NOVA by the Numbers.

To assist in helping community, business and government leaders understand our College, our amazing offices of Strategic Insights, Governmental Relations and Communications and Enrollment Marketing recently worked together to create a “NOVA by the Numbers” one sheet.

This document is linked below. It presents key information about NOVA in an accessible and easy-to-read manner, providing topline information on our enrollment, tuition, budget and student supports. NOVA by the Numbers (Revised) also includes some comparative data, underscoring the way in which our College fulfills its mission of providing accessible, affordable and exceptional higher education and workforce programs.

As shown in the NOVA by the Numbers (Revised) one sheet, while we receive the same state and tuition funding for all programs, the actual cost of these programs varies significantly. The pathways that have the greatest immediate economic impact for NOVA grads are among the most expensive to deliver. The same is true across the VCCS. Yet growing these programs is essential to connecting students, especially adult learners, to transformational economic opportunity. This is why the VCCS continues to advocate for increased funding for career pathway programs that lead to sustaining-wage employment.

I hope you will share the NOVA by the Numbers (Revised) document as you advocate for our College and our students.

Thank you for supporting our students as they work to build bolder and brighter futures!

Kind regards, Anne
