The chemical operator technology
degree at West Virginia Northern
Community College (WVNCC)
prepares students to be employed as
operators in the chemical and oil and
gas industries.
Students learn the theory and
operation of different types of
plant equipment such as distillation
columns, reactors, heat exchange units,
piping and pumps and the storage or
transmission of product. They obtain
hands-on experience through the use of
state-of-the art simulators in order to
monitor and make changes in pressure,
flow, temperature, material levels and
other parameters.
This program is currently offered on
WVNCC’s New Martinsville campus
and will be added to the Wheeling and
Weirton campuses as needed.

Last spring, West Virginia State
University began offering a fully online
master of education in instructional
leadership degree with an emphasis on
the concepts of social justice, fairness
and equity, making it the first of its
kind in West Virginia. The curriculum
creates opportunities for educators to
expand their skills and advance into
administrative positions while helping
instructional leaders create pathways to
success for students and staff members.
The degree program can provide a
leadership certificate upon completion
of 18 hours of courses and certification
testing if they already possess a master’s
degree. For those seeking a master’s
degree, this program can be completed
with 36 hours. Each option begins with
foundational courses and progresses to
more advanced topics that impart the
content and skills necessary for success.
Projections are for licensure students to
complete the program in one to two years
and degree stream candidates to complete
the program in two to four years.
West Virginia University (WVU) is
working to help transform the state’s
business landscape through its quick
response to the global mindset that
products can be made available quickly
to those who want them.
WVU’s new global supply chain
management program provides
students with the strategic big picture
of supply chain processes, such as
fulfilling customer demand and
tactical level activities of planning and
executing purchasing, manufacturing
and shipping. Students develop the
knowledge and skills to lead supply
chain improvement projects, function in
supply chain teams and perform or lead
supply chain activities with excellence.
This program has responded to a
high global demand for candidates with
supply chain management knowledge
and skills, which will be a good fit for
jobs that can help the state of West
Virginia attract manufacturing and
other businesses.
