  • WVU Online WVU offers more than 35 degrees and 13 certificate programs online. Degrees offered meet the same rigorous standards as our on-campus programs.
  • The Rack Recognizing there is a need on campus, WVU has made efforts to assist students who face hunger. Students are welcome to come to the Student Organizations Services office to visit The Rack, where non-perishable goods are available for students in need. In addition, perishable food items (such as fruit, meat, and dairy) are available during a set schedule.
  • Regents Bachelor of Arts The RBA (Regents Bachelor of Arts) degree is an innovative baccalaureate designed for adult students. The basic principle underlying the degree is that credit is awarded for what students know regardless of how that knowledge was attained. The program differs from other bachelor degrees in that RBA students may earn college-equivalent credit for selected work and life experiences which can be equated to college courses. The RBA student faces the realities of career demands, family obligations, and financial pressures, which the RBA Program recognizes and attempts to remove the obstacles that preclude non-traditional, adult students from attending college. A flexible schedule with evening and online courses helps RBA students continue to work full-time and be a major part of family life while still progressing towards a bachelor’s degree.
  • Student Family Resources WVU Student Family Resources is a department that supports retention, recruitment and wellness of students who are parents. Student Family Resources serves as a resource for current or potential WVU students seeking child care and family support information.
  • Student Support Services The Student Support Services (SSS)/TRIO program provides individualized services to students who are either first-generation, income eligible, or have a learning or physical disability. Based on student needs and goals, SSS assists with academic accomplishment and social and cultural enrichment so students may successfully complete baccalaureate degrees.
