Located in the small town of Buckhannon in central West Virginia, West Virginia Wesleyan College is a private liberal arts institution affiliated with the United Methodist Church. The 110-acre campus features Georgian-style architecture and is situated in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, approximately two hours from both Charleston and Pittsburgh. Founded in 1890 as the West Virginia Conference Seminary, the college maintains selective admission standards and offers undergraduate programs across liberal arts, sciences, and pre-professional studies, with particular emphasis on nursing, business, and education. The residential campus houses most students in traditional dormitories and suite-style residence halls, while competing athletically at the NCAA Division II level in the Mountain East Conference.
