West Virginia
State University is a historically black university, which has
evolved into a fully accessible, racially diverse, and multi-generational
institution offering baccalaureate and graduate degrees. The suburban
University is located in Institute, WV, eight miles from downtown
Charleston.
West Virginia State University is a comprehensive
university dedicated to meeting the intellectual and professional
needs of students, whether you are a traditional 18-year-old or
an adult learner seeking an undergraduate or graduate degree.
The first half-century of the history of WVSC
epitomizes the long struggle of African-Americans for educational
opportunity and political, social, and economic equality. While
desegregation changed the racial proportions of the student body,
faculty, and staff, WVSC still emphasizes the diversity of its
people and derives important values and elements of its mission
from its tradition as a historically black college.
Persons seeking admission must have completed
the following college preparatory curriculum in high school: four
units of basic English (grammar, composition, and literature);
two units of laboratory science (biology, chemistry, physics,
and other theory-based courses with a strong laboratory science
orientation); two units of mathematics including algebra and higher;
and three units of social studies, including U.S. History. Also
highly recommended, but not required, are one unit of physical
education and one of foreign language. (Students planning to enter
engineering-related or science programs are encouraged to have
units of advanced algebra and trigonometry.)
