Located on approximately 69 acres of land on a tributary of the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River, the property sits within the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area. Established in 1973, the campus served over 8,000 students in 2003-04.  Making students first is our campus motto. Our excellent faculty and staff are committed to helping students as they enter college and work toward graduation.  The campus offers quality programs and services that help students prepare for the workforce or to transfer to the college of their choice. Courses are offered in the day, evening, weekends, in hybrid format, and online.  While at the campus, students can participate in our award winning Phi Theta Kappa Chapter, participate in a Theater production, learn to do major repair on a car, visit the beauty of nature on the campus island, or learn to design the interior of a home.
