The Charleston Campus offers students in southern West Virginia the ability to more conveniently attend on-campus events and workshops.

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.

Stephanie Lusk

When I got to college, nursing was what I interested in. When I thought about my role models when I was younger, the strongest women I knew were nurses, and I love that caring is one of the most essential elements in being a nurse.
