Many students enter college without knowing what they want to major in.
That's why Fairmont State created ''Academic Pathways'' – clusters of academic programs with overlapping research or creative interests, related coursework, or similar career paths. Academic Pathways help students stay on track to graduate on time, saving them tuition dollars.
The month of February ended with growth and momentum for Fairmont State University. The University’s Board of Governors met on February 25 and received updates from campus leadership on key initiatives, enrollment progress, academic planning, and community engagement events. The University then pivoted to one of its most spirited community events of the year, the annual Day of Giving, during which the University surpassed its $800,000 fundraising goal.
