The ADVANCE program, co-created by Northern Virginia Community College and George Mason University, is a four-pronged initiative that facilitates transfer between the two institutions. Since launching in 2018, the program has helped over 4,500 community college students map out their path or successfully transfer to the university.
"We know that in the transfer space, students who earn an associate degree before they transfer are more apt to persist and complete a bachelor's degree, this whole idea of completion leading to completion," said Jennifer Nelson, director of university transfer and initiatives at NOVA.
The program has four components that help improve transfer: streamlined admission, defined curricular pathway, access to GMU and coaching. NOVA students who have earned fewer than 30 credits can opt into ADVANCE.
