CVCC/UVA Engineering Partnership
Central Virginia Community College and the University of Virginia, in
cooperation with Region 2000 businesses, formed a partnership which
provides a four-year engineering degree within Region 2000. CVCC
established an Associate of Science in Engineering curriculum
that satisfies The University of Virginia's (UVA's) and Virginia
Tech's (VT's) prerequisites for third-year entry into their
respective Schools of Engineering. While some students choose to
attend third- and fourth-year classes on UVA or VT campuses, UVA
makes its curriculum available within the Lynchburg area. This means
Region 2000 students need not leave home to earn a respected UVA
engineering degree. The degree offering is Engineering Science, an
interdisciplinary study with two tracks: mechatronics and advanced
materials.
Step #1: Apply
for admission to Central Virginia Community College.
Web applications may be found
at:
https://apply.vccs.edu/app/app.htm.

Step #3:

is demonstrate in prior college work. (All
first time students are required to complete
Mathematics and English placement)
Step #4:

and registration.

Step #5:
Preview companies in Region 2000 interested in sponsoring potential engineering
students in this program. Sponsorships may
include: Tuition assistance, books, fees, co-op
opportunities, part-time jobs, and/or full time
careers with the company. A complete list of
points of contacts and application procedures
for each participating company will be posted
on the CVCC web site
(www.cvcc.vccs.edu) in early May.
