Mission Statement

The mission of Bluefield State College is to provide students an affordable, geographically accessible opportunity for public higher education. The College demonstrates its commitment to undergraduate education by providing a dedicated faculty and staff, quality educational programs, and strong student support services in a caring environment. All programs are designed to promote the students' intellectual, personal, ethical, and cultural development. As an historically black, open admissions institution, Bluefield State College prepares students for challenging careers, graduate study, informed citizenship, community involvement, and public service in an ever-changing global society. To accomplish its mission, Bluefield State College offers undergraduate liberal arts and professional programs in applied sciences, business, education, humanities, social sciences, engineering technologies, and allied health sciences leading to baccalaureate and associate degrees, the nontraditional Regents Bachelor of Arts degree, and continuing education opportunities. The College serves the citizens of southeast West Virginia by providing programs principally at sites in Mercer, Greenbrier, and McDowell Counties and in some locations contiguous to its service area.
