@ The cutting edge of online learning.

At NOVA Online, learning online is more than watching lectures on a screen.

It's coursework designed with your career success in mind. It's a nationally recognized virtual campus where you'll find 24/7 learning resources, connect with your professors and peers and get support beyond the classroom. It's a learning experience that uses AI, gamification and other tools to personalize each lesson to your needs. And it's a real-life team of faculty and staff at your side from day one.

@ An affordable price.

We believe college should be possible for anyone at any stage in life.

That's why NOVA offers tuition at a fraction of the price of four-year schools, saving nearly 60% on the cost of your degree. Our payment plan makes affording your tuition easier, with a smaller down payment and smaller monthly or bimonthly payments.
