SOUTHERN VA
James Madison University and New College agreed to work toward increasing JMU’s presence in Southern Virginia to augment NCI’s academic offerings in advanced manufacturing, cyber-related fields, technology, robotics, and education.
The ultimate goal of this partnership is to provide a JMU bachelor of science degree at NCI that can be delivered throughout the Southern Virginia region. It is a “2+2” degree completion model building upon the foundation of courses taken at community colleges throughout the region. Students will engage in applied learning in NCI’s Center of Advanced Manufacturing and will have opportunities to participate in internships.
