Pierpont Community and Technical College

Located in Fairmont, West Virginia, Pierpont Community and Technical College operates from a contemporary campus shared with Fairmont State University, approximately 20 miles south of Morgantown.

Pierpont provides career-focused technical programs and associate degrees, with particular strengths in healthcare, culinary arts, petroleum technology, and advanced manufacturing. The institution maintains an open admission policy consistent with its mission as a community college, offering both daytime and evening classes to serve working students. While primarily a commuter campus, students can access housing through an arrangement with Fairmont State University.
