Glenville State University
About
Known affectionately as "The Lighthouse on the Hill," Glenville State University in central West Virginia is highly regarded for its historic foundation in teacher education and its premier Department of Land Resources, which offers top-tier programs in forestry, land surveying, and environmental science. The student experience is defined by a close-knit, supportive campus culture nestled in a scenic Appalachian setting, where students engage in vibrant outdoor recreation, active student organizations, and NCAA Division II Pioneer athletics. What truly sets the university apart is its highly unique four-year degree in Bluegrass Music—one of the only such programs in the nation—along with its on-campus timberlands that provide forestry students with invaluable, direct hands-on field training.
