Institution Overview

  • Public/Private: Public
  • Established: 2003
  • Founder: Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA) was established under the name Northern Virginia Technical College in 1964. The founders are not specifically listed as individuals, but rather the institution was part of the Virginia Community College System. However, key figures in its development include: - Robert W. McKee (first president) - Dr. Richard J. Ernst (second president) - Dr. Belle S. Wheelan (third president) - Dr. Robert G. Templin, Jr. (fourth president) - Dr. Anne M. Kress (current president) The Medical Education Campus (MEC) was established in 2003 as part of NOVA's expansion to meet the growing demand for healthcare professionals. For the specific founders of the Medical Education Campus, it is not explicitly stated in the provided sources. However, it is clear that the campus was a collaborative effort between NOVA, George Mason University, Virginia Commonwealth University, and regional public school systems. Thus, if we consider the broader context of NOVA's establishment and the specific campus's founding, we can list the key figures involved in its development: Robert W. McKee, Richard J. Ernst, Belle S. Wheelan, Robert G. Templin Jr., Anne M. Kress However, for the Medical Education Campus specifically, it is more accurate to say it was a collaborative effort among institutions rather than naming specific founders

Student and Staff Numbers

  • Students: The total number of students enrolled at the Medical Education Campus of Northern Virginia Community College is not explicitly provided in the sources. However, the overall student headcount for NOVA in Fall 2021 was 74,804, and for Fall 2021-22, it was 69,427. The Medical Education Campus is a specialized campus within NOVA, but specific enrollment figures for this campus are not detailed in the provided sources. Therefore, an exact number for the Medical Education Campus cannot be given based on the available information
  • Undergraduates: The total number of students enrolled at Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA) is not specifically broken down by campus in the provided sources. However, we can infer the total enrollment from the annual headcount and full-time equivalent student (FTES) totals: - For the 2020-2021 academic year, the annual headcount was 74,804, and the FTES was 32,121. - For the 2021-2022 academic year, the annual headcount was 69,427, and the FTES was 28,879. Given that the Medical Education Campus is one of the five campuses of NOVA, we can estimate the undergraduate enrollment at NOVA but not specifically at the Medical Education Campus. The total undergraduate enrollment at NOVA is approximately 49,560 or 51,896, but these numbers do not distinguish between campuses. Therefore, without specific data for the Medical Education Campus, we cannot provide an exact number for undergraduate students enrolled there. However, if we consider the total enrollment and assume a proportional distribution among campuses, we might estimate a range. For example, if we use the higher total enrollment figure of 51,896 from, and assuming an even distribution among the five campuses, each campus would have approximately 10,379 students. This is a rough estimate and should be taken as an approximation. Thus, the estimated range for undergraduate students at the Medical Education Campus could be around 10,000 to 11,000 students, but this is purely speculative without specific data
