Old Dominion University's Higher Education Centers (HECs: ODU-Peninsula, ODU-Tri-Cities, ODU-Virginia Beach) serve as regional gateways to the University, providing accessible, high quality education in three convenient locations within greater Hampton Roads. Supporting high-demand and critical shortage professions with select graduate and undergraduate degree, certificate and continuing education programs offered in traditional, Distance Learning, and hybrid formats, the HECs are service-centered, state-of-the-art academic facilities that offer resources to foster success and accelerate degree completion especially among commuter and transfer students. In addition, the HECs support the university's strategic partnerships and community engagement initiatives, and also provide conference, training and professional development space for local school divisions, municipalities, businesses and nonprofits.
