Relationship to WVU

Students at Potomac State College are part of the West Virginia University family. WVU is a major research institution and West Virginia's flagship university. WVU is the state's only research doctoral-granting, land-grant university. WVU provides high quality programs of instruction, offering nearly 200 degree programs at the undergraduate, graduate, doctorate and professional levels.

The array of online services and expanded course offerings are just some of the benefits students at Potomac State College of West Virginia University were able to benefit from when Potomac State became a division of WVU.

Potomac State's transition from a regional campus of WVU to a fully integrated division, much like a college or school on the Morgantown campus, took effect on July 1, 2005. 

From an operational standpoint, Potomac State is now able to offer services under WVU's umbrella that it could not afford to provide as a regional campus with its own budget.
