Administration
Welcome
On behalf of the faculty and staff at Virginia Tech's Northern Virginia Center, welcome to Virginia Tech! If you are contemplating a return to graduate school to earn a master's or doctoral degree - whether part-time or full-time - a special welcome to you. As a center serving more than 1,600 graduate students, we know how difficult graduate school can be, especially for those balancing career, family and academics. Our goal at the Northern Virginia Center is to serve you as you negotiate that process. Virginia Tech at Northern Virginia gives you the best of both worlds: the academic excellence of the Commonwealth's leading research university and the flexibility to achieve your higher education goals as conveniently as possible.
If you are exploring educational opportunities with Virginia Tech, you will find all kinds of information on this site, from application requirements and on-line forms to faculty profiles to course schedules. I hope you'll find it easy to contact us directly, too - we are always happy to answer your questions. If you don't find what you are looking for, please let me know and I will do my best to ensure you get what you need.
In these times of uncertainty, there are many challenges ahead. We can help you meet them. We are very proud of our programs, our faculty, our staff and most of all, our students. They go on to do some pretty amazing things.
