School Notes:
  • Thousands of men and women have attended Mountain State University since it was founded as Beckley College in 1933. Located in the heart of Southern West Virginia, the private, nonprofit institution began as a junior college in response to the community's desire to offer quality, affordable education to its youth at the height of the Great Depression.
  • Today, Mountain State University is a dynamic, four-year institution that also offers graduate programs. MSU has become the University of choice for many individuals throughout West Virginia, the nation, and the world.
  • The decade of the 1990s brought an era of tremendous change, including the transition from a two-year to a four-year college, and then to a master's level institution. New buildings were erected and degree program offerings were expanded to include high-demand professional and technology fields, as well as the humanities, arts, and sciences. MSU provides quality education in health sciences, the liberal arts and sciences, business, and technology complemented by extensive opportunities for practical experience in the workplace.
  • Mountain State College is accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS). ACICS is designated as a nationally-recognized accrediting agency by the US Department of Education. Mountain State College is also approved for training of Veterans.
