West Liberty State College
United States
University Attributes:
West Liberty is an accredited, multipurpose, coeducational, state-supported college. Its origins are raceable to the days when the western Appalachian Ridge was still America's frontier, and when transmountain settlement caused a demand for local higher educational opportunities. Thus in 1837, a quarter of a century before West Virginia's admission to the Union, West Liberty was chartered as an Academy. From point of origin, then, it is West Virginia's oldest institution of higher learning. The college is located within the northern arm of West Virginia in the Pittsburgh(PA), Steubenville(OH), and Wheeling(WV) triangle. It takes its name from the town it which it is situated, the town having derived its name from the era when it was the westernmost point of penetration for the new liberty provided through the Declaration of Independence and the subsequent Revolutionary War. Hence, the area abounds in frontier, Revolutionary War, Indian and even pre-Indian lore and history. Located in the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia, West Liberty State College is a four-year traditional college offering a variety of programs and an excellent choice for a safe, challenging academic environment with attention to individual students' needs.
