Davis & Elkins College
Davis & Elkins College, founded in 1904 and named for two US senators who helped establish the institution, is a small Presbyterian-affiliated liberal arts college whose Elkins, West Virginia campus sits in the heart of the state's Allegheny Mountains region. The college's equestrian studies and outdoor recreation programs benefit directly from the surrounding mountain terrain, and Davis & Elkins hosts the Augusta Heritage Center, a significant traditional Appalachian folk arts and music program drawing musicians and craftspeople from across the country each summer. The college's small size and its close-knit campus community reflect its position as a smaller private alternative to West Virginia's larger public universities, and its continued Presbyterian religious affiliation shapes aspects of its institutional mission. The college's combination of its scenic Allegheny Mountains setting, its distinctive Appalachian folk arts heritage program, and its small liberal arts college identity has made Davis & Elkins a distinctive choice within West Virginia's higher education landscape.
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.
