  The MINOS experiment, operating in the NuMI beam since 2005, has provided the
most precise measurement of the atmospheric mass splitting $|\Delta m^2_{32}|$,
and the recent combination of the $\nu_\mu$, $\nu_e$, and atmospheric neutrino
samples has provided some evidence of non-maximal mixing, and hints about the
neutrino mass hierarchy and the $\theta_{23}$ octant. Construction of the NOvA
experiment, situated off-axis in the upgraded NuMI beam, is almost complete.
Over the coming years it will have significant power to probe the questions of
the mass hierarchy, $\theta_{23}$ octant, and the possibility of $\mathcal{CP}$
violation in the lepton sector. This paper gives an overview of the results
from MINOS, and of the sensitivity of the NOvA experiment.
