Institution Overview

  • Public/Private: Public
  • Established: 1974
  • Founder: Robert L. McKee, Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA) was established under the name Northern Virginia Technical College, which later became NOVA. The Loudoun Campus specifically was established in 1972. However, if you are asking specifically about the Loudoun Campus, it was not founded by a single individual but rather part of the broader establishment of NOVA. The key figure in the early days of NOVA is Robert L. McKee, who was the first president from 1965 to 1967. For clarity, the founders of NOVA are generally attributed to the establishment of the college itself, not specifically the Loudoun Campus. Therefore, the name of the founder related to the broader institution is: Robert L. McKee

I can only speak for the GIS program. It is TERRIBLE. Horrible across the board from the program manager Michael Krimmer to their professors Marsil Zook. RUN AWAY FROM THIS PROGRAM! SAVE YOUR MONEY AND MORE IMPORTANTLY YOUR TIME! The program has no pulse on the frustrations of its students and worst of all the teacher show equal apathy.
