School Description
West Virginia University (WVU) was founded in 1867 as the Agricultural College of West Virginia. The college officially changed its name to West Virginia University the following year. The institution began with just six faculty members, six college students and 118 preparatory students, who were all male. WVU became more diverse in the 1880s with the acceptance of female students and two international students from Japan. The 1960s and 70s saw a lot of changes to the curriculum as well as student life. A new core curriculum was established in September 1964, and several new facilities were added to the campus during the 1970s, as well as more courses that focused on the environment, women's history, women and literature.
West Virginia University has over 28,000 students enrolled in its main campus. The WVU system has 518 buildings across the state, and 245 buildings in its main campus in Morgantown. WVU also operates 10 experimental farms and four forests throughout the state of West Virginia. WVU has over 460 student organisations with many organisations representing the diverse groups of students at WVU. Those organisations include: the African Student Association, Indian Student Association, Middle Eastern Union, and Chinese Club of WVU.

Erik Hansen
1989-1993, B.S., Electrical Engineering; B.S., Computer Engineering
Love WVU. My son is already considering attendance and he's only 14.
I graduated in '93 as a double major in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Since then I've worn many corporate hats and I'm now CEO at a start-up company. I couldn't have had the successful career I've had without WVU.
Fred Pollard
1992-1995, Masters, Counseling
I enjoyed the journey of learning with all of my WVU professors.
I felt encouraged and equipped for new expectations from having been a part of this wonderful and challenging experience.

WVU - The best college atmosphere and experience I could've asked for.
WVU is where I fell in love with my career path and found myself in the process. An affordable university filled with any opportunity you can imagine. Take advantage of as many groups, clubs and organizations as possible. It's a great place for networking.
