The University of Charleston
Charleston’s University
The University of Charleston (UC) has been the premier destination for
private education in the Mountain State since 1888. With a current
enrollment of nearly 2,500 students and a student-faculty ratio of 14:1,
UC offers a personalized college experience at undergraduate, graduate
and doctoral levels.
The university’s mission is to educate each student for a life of productive
work, enlightened living and community involvement. The school does
this as it serves students from 45 states and 47 countries, making UC
a truly global institution. The main campus in Charleston, a satellite
campus in Beckley and an integrated online presence establishes UC as
diverse and independent.
The university offers a performance-based curriculum that focuses on
specific objectives called Liberal Learning Outcomes (LLO). LLOs are
essential abilities every student should develop, including critical thinking,
effective communication, involved citizenship, continual creativity,
empathetic involvement, ethical practice and purposeful inquiry. These
principles are embedded in each UC program, equipping students to
apply coursework to the real world and develop habits of lifelong learning.
Among the most popular of the university’s 40 undergraduate majors
are nursing, pre-med/pre-pharmacy, biology, education and business.
UC has an established school of pharmacy and a highly competitive
physician assistant program. It also has a large population of military
students and has been named a military-friendly school for seven
consecutive years by Victory Media. More than one-third of residential
students are collegiate athletes competing at the national level in 19
sports. UC won the 2017 NCAA Division II National Championship in
men’s soccer.
In 2017, the school welcomed its 26th president, Dr. Martin Roth, to the
campus. Roth has embraced UC’s initiative, which emphasizes that the
school has a role to play in the city of Charleston that’s just as visible
and important as the Capital City’s prominent place in UC’s name.
