Bethany College
Bethany College, founded in 1840, is the oldest institution of higher education in West Virginia, established by Alexander Campbell, a founding figure of the Restoration Movement within American Protestant Christianity, and the college's small campus in Bethany reflects its founding-era religious origins. The college's small size, fewer than 700 undergraduates, and its rural Northern Panhandle setting give Bethany a close-knit community distinct from West Virginia's larger public universities, and the school's continued Disciples of Christ religious affiliation shapes aspects of its institutional mission. Bethany's business and education programs have built solid regional reputations, and the college's historic campus, including buildings dating to its 1840s founding, reflects its status as the state's oldest higher education institution. The college's genuine historical seniority as West Virginia's oldest college, combined with its small, religiously founded liberal arts identity, has made Bethany a distinctive if lesser-known choice among the state's private colleges.
VS
Shepherd University
Shepherd University, founded in 1871, is located in the historic town of Shepherdstown, West Virginia's oldest town, and the university's proximity to Washington, DC, roughly 70 miles away, gives students in its business, environmental studies, and political science programs unusually direct access to internships in the federal government and policy sector. The university's environmental studies program benefits from Shepherdstown's location along the Potomac River and its proximity to significant Chesapeake Bay watershed conservation research, and Shepherd's contemporary music program has built a solid regional reputation. Shepherd's historic campus, integrated into Shepherdstown's well-preserved 18th- and 19th-century downtown, gives the university a distinctive small-town historic setting relative to West Virginia's larger public institutions. The university's combination of its historic small-town setting, its proximity-driven access to Washington, DC internship opportunities, and its environmental studies strength tied to the Potomac watershed has made Shepherd a distinctive choice among West Virginia's public universities.
