Neutrino oscillations are transitions in flight between the differe nt neutrino flavors that arise from the non-degenerate neutrino masses and lepton mixing. These transitions are evidenced in solar\, atmospheric\, r eactor and accelerator experiments. Current experimental efforts seek to i mprove the precision measurements of the elements of the mixing matrix\, t o determine the order of the neutrino masses\, and to search for evidence of neutrino/antineutrino asymmetry in oscillation probabilities. span>
\n\n< span style="font-size:11pt"> NOvA is a long-ba seline neutrino oscillation experiment\, which consists of two finely segm ented liquid-scintillator detectors operating 14.6 mrad off-axis from Ferm ilab&rsquo\;s NuMI muon neutrino (or antineutrino) beam. With an 810 km ba seline\, the measurements of muon neutrino disappearance and electron neut rino appearance allow the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy\, t he octant of the largest neutrino mixing angle\, and charge-parity (CP) vi olation in the neutrino sector. In this talk\, I summarize NOvA&rsquo\;s m ost recent 3-flavor oscillation results\, based on the combined analysis o f neutrino and antineutrino datasets with an exposure of ~13×\;1020 protons-on-target in each beam mode. I also discuss the experime nt&rsquo\;s projected sensitivities\, and the potential of discovery with current and next-generation long-baseline experiments.
