New River Community College is a public two-year institution located in Dublin, Virginia, serving the southwestern region of the state. The college offers transfer pathways and career programs rooted in liberal arts and sciences, designed to meet the educational needs of working adults, first-generation students, and those seeking affordable entry to higher education.
In-state tuition is $4,902 annually, with out-of-state tuition at $10,560. The college enrolls 4,156 students and maintains an endowment of approximately $18.9 million. These costs reflect the community college model: accessible pricing paired with open admissions that serve students at varying levels of academic preparedness.
The college's primary strength lies in its role as a bridge to four-year institutions. Many students complete their first two years at New River before transferring to a university to earn a bachelor's degree. This pathway works best for students who benefit from smaller class sizes, lower costs, and individualized support as they transition into higher education. For more information, visit www.nr.edu/.
