Life at Potomac State College
Potomac State College in Keyser is known for its small class sizes, student-centered focus and caring and approachable professors – all at a cost that ranks among the lowest in the country for a four-year institution.
For more than 1,143 students, it is a home away from home. Accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, over 60 two-year degree programs are offered that can easily be transferred and completed at 十大网赌靠谱信誉平台位于 or 十大网赌靠谱信誉平台贝克利 – and 8 four-year bachelor’s degree programs.
Professional and peer tutors in the Academic Success Center can help with specific assignments or work with students to improve study skills.
Two residence halls are air conditioned and equipped with high-speed internet, lounges and laundry facilities. Students can also commute to the Keyser campus or choose to take on-line courses.
Many students play on one of PSC’s 10 competitive athletic teams, join or lead clubs, study abroad, play an intramural sport – or simply cheer on the Catamounts. 而且, of course, being tucked away in the Potomac Highlands allows students to camp, kayak, raft, fish, ski – and just enjoy the beauty of the region.
Simply put, WVU Potomac State College offers the best of both worlds: A big-time university, delivered in a small-college setting.
