CVCC/UVA Engineering Partnership

Central Virginia Community College and the University of Virginia, in cooperation with local area businesses, have formed a partnership to provide a four-year engineering degree in Region 2000. CVCC will establish an Associate of Science in Engineering curriculum that will satisfy U.Va.’s and Virginia Tech’s prerequisites for third-year entry into their respective Schools of Engineering. CVCC will also provide bridge courses to meet U.Va.’s entrance requirements for students currently enrolled in one of its technical degree programs should they choose to advance their education through U.Va.’s Engineering Science degree program. The University of Virginia will offer its third- and fourth-year classes at CVCC’s Lynchburg campus. Current areas of study for the bachelor degree include mechanical, electrical and materials science engineering.
