Academic Choices

NRCC offers a broad range of courses and programs to meet the diverse needs of students. As a New River student, you'll have a variety of choices. In fact, the college offers over 40 different academic programs from which to choose.

Your choices include not just what programs to take, but when and how to take them. You can attend in the day or at night, full-time or part-time, on-campus or at one of our off-campus locations in the New River Valley. You can also complete a wide range of courses through individualized approaches.

NRCC operates on a semester system, with classes also offered during the summer. You can get a jump on college by enrolling as a summer student, even if you plan to attend another institution. Also, students from other schools often take summer classes at New River to transfer back to their home college or university. Whether you're interested in just one course or an entire program, NRCC can meet your needs.
