   What you can study

   New River Community College is a community college, so it is the right place to look for community-college study rather than a broad university catalogue. The programme catalogue is still being compiled, so confirm the current subject areas and awards directly with the college.

   Getting in

   Apply through the college’s official admissions process and check the current entry requirements on its website before you apply. If you are coming from another country, confirm what documents are required, whether the college needs proof of English ability, and whether any programme has extra requirements.

   What it costs

   The college does not publish a fee for international students; confirm the current rate with its admissions office. Living costs will depend on your housing choice and daily spending in the Dublin, Virginia area.

   Coming from abroad

   The language of instruction is not published. Before applying, confirm English-language requirements, how your academic records should be submitted, and whether the college offers the programme you want for international students.

   How it compares

   In the United States, New River Community College is one of 2,515 universities and colleges, but it sits in a different category from a large university because it is a public community college. That makes it a more focused choice if you want a local Virginia college within the state community college system rather than a large national institution.
