5 Nursing Campuses,
1 WVU School of Nursing.

One of three campuses in Morgantown, the Health Sciences Center is the primary teaching and research center for the health professions schools. The campus also includes Ruby Memorial Hospital and other clinical facilities associated with WVU Medicine, all of which serve as teaching locations for our students. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention operates a major occupational health research facility on this campus.

A campus within the West Virginia University system, WVU Tech offers more than 30 different academic programs and is located in Beckley. The WVU School of Nursing offers its traditional, four-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing on the Beckley Campus.

The program works closely with Charleston Area Medical Center (CAMC), Thomas Health Systems, Raleigh General Hospital, Beckley ARH Hospital, Plateau Medical Center, Summersville Regional Medical Center, Highland Hospital, and local agencies to provide clinical training opportunities for nursing students in all years of study.

For high school students, the Beckley Campus offers the LevelUpWV: Nursing Pathway, which allows students to complete the first year of the nursing major during their junior and senior years of high school. LevelUpWV, a state-funded dual enrollment program, will cover the tuition cost for high school participants in the pathway.

In a unique partnership, a new wing of WVU Medicine United Hospital Center in Bridgeport houses a WVU School of Nursing accelerated undergraduate nursing program. Students can appreciate the convenience of state-of-the art classrooms and skills labs just steps away from the clinical facility. At Bridgeport, students can enjoy smaller class sizes, connect with a close cohort of 24 fellow classmates, and engage with dedicated faculty members.

The UHC campus program’s first cohort began January 2023. The Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program, which mirrors the Morgantown Campus program, provides accelerated entry into the nursing profession for students who already hold a bachelor’s degree in another field. The program runs five full-time semesters, or 18 months in length, and consists of 66 credits of nursing curriculum.

The Charleston Division of the WVU Health Sciences Center is a clinical campus of the larger Health Sciences Center in Morgantown. The Charleston Division was formed in 1972 as part of a federal rural health initiative designed to expand health professions’ education beyond the traditional campus. Faculty of the Charleston Division of the School of Nursing participate online with faculty in Morgantown to offer RN-BSN, MSN, DNP, and PhD degrees. Students in southern West Virginia may enroll on the Charleston Campus in order to attend on-campus events and workshops closer to home.

Our Keyser Campus, located at WVU Potomac State College, offers a four-year BSN program complete with a state-of-the-art skills lab and simulation facility.

The program works closely with Potomac Valley Hospital, Garrett Regional Medical Center, J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital, Hampshire Memorial Hospital, Grant Memorial Hospital, Stonerise Keyser, Thomas B. Finan Center, UPMC Western Maryland, and many community sites to provide clinical training opportunities for nursing students in all years of nursing study.
