We Don't Recruit Students...We Recruit Families!

    At West Liberty State College, we cannot overempasize the importance of your participation in the education of your son or daughter. Our students tell us that YOU are overwhelmingly the primary influence in 1) your daughter or son choosing to attend college in the first place and 2) where they chose to pursue their higher education goals. Instead of keeping you out of the process, we recognize that you are a valuable resource who can help us provide the services needed to ensure success.

        We know that the decisions your family is making about college attendance will impact the rest of your lives. We also know that, far too often, entirely too many college students across the nation fail to acheive their goal to earn a degree. If you're trying to choose a college, it's important to look at how successful an institution is in keeping its students enrolled through the point of earning a degree. West Liberty's retention and graduation rates are among the highest in West Virginia. We accomplish this through the close supportive relationships we form with our students and by specifically targeting the needs of our first-year students with special classes and programs aimed at assiting them in the transition to college life.

        Regardless of your choice for higher education , we want to help you make an informed decision. Ask about financial aid and look at the bottom line. Ask about safety and look at the features the campus offers. Ask about academic support services and accreditations for academic programs.

        Through this process, we hope you choose to visit West Liberty and take a serious look at what we can offer. On top of everything else, you'll see that our park-like campus in its rural setting provides a great living and learning environment. See you on the hilltop!
