DMV Spotlight shines a light on an effort by the State Council of Higher Education in Virginia ( SCHEV) alongside several state universities for a potential three year undergraduate degree. Guest Mark Owczarski, Associate Vice President and Spokesman for Virginia Tech explained many schools may offer a two- year associate degree or a 4-year Baccalaureate but there a gap for a three-year program. Owczarski notes that not all degree offerings will work with a 3 year program but says there are considerations underway for certain health degrees as well as agriculture degrees being offered at VA Tech that may work well.Owczarski says primary purpose of any state run institution of higher learning is to provide access to education to as many people who want it and to remove any barriers, including cost. VA Tech hopes to offer a three year degree by the Fall of 2027.
