Virginia College

DCE provides assistance to students who are interested in enrolling in Post Secondary and Distance Learning courses through various Community Colleges in Virginia as well as colleges and universities nationwide.

The Flora of Virginia Project
In the1900s, botanical work in Virginia exploded with the development of relatively large herbaria at the College of William and Mary, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, George Mason University, Longwood College and Lynchburg College.
