West Virginia University
West Virginia University, founded in 1867 as the state's land-grant institution, is West Virginia's flagship public research university, and its forensic and investigative sciences program is one of the most respected in the country, benefiting from close ties to the FBI's nearby Criminal Justice Information Services Division. The university's engineering and energy-related research programs reflect West Virginia's significant coal and natural gas economy, and WVU's continued research into mine safety and energy extraction technology serves a state economy still substantially tied to those industries. WVU's Mountaineers football program and its passionate fan base, including the tradition of students rolling downtown Morgantown streets in toilet paper after major victories, has given the university a distinctive athletic culture central to its broader public identity across the state. The university's combination of genuine forensic science research strength, its energy and mining-related engineering programs, and its role as the state's clear public flagship has made WVU central to both West Virginia's higher education system and its broader economic development.
VS
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.
