At Fairmont State University, you get all the benefits of a state university – hands-on learning experiences, academic programs that lead to in-demand careers, and an exciting campus life experience – combined with the best aspects of going to a smaller private school – small class sizes, a cozy, safe campus, and caring teacher-mentors.
With more than 40 degree programs and over 100 programs of study, Fairmont State delivers a transformative educational experience. We offer major tracks that lead to rewarding careers, as well as programs you simply won’t find anywhere else in the state.
The demand for highly trained professionals has never been higher – nor has a master’s level degree ever been more valuable. Fairmont State University is meeting that increased need by offering online and on-campus graduate programs in Architecture, Business, Criminal Justice, Education, Engineering, and Healthcare Management.
If you’re considering transferring from another school, Fairmont State University understands students like you, who take control of their education…and their future. We know that you require a quality education without the high price tag of a private school, and a faculty and staff who listen to your needs. You'll find it all at Fairmont State.
You started pursuing an education at Fairmont State but decided to take some time off. We get it – sometimes life gets in the way of our plans. Don’t worry, though – we make it easy for you to pick up where you left off, and achieve your educational and professional goals.
Whether you’re after a new career with higher pay, a promotion in your current job, or you just want to learn more about a particular subject, we have programs for every adult learner. Our Regent Bachelor of Arts degree program even allows you to earn some credits for your job training and experience.
The Admissions and Welcome Center welcomes all future Falcons. When you visit our scenic and tight-knit hilltop campus, you will get to experience being a Falcon. You will be introduced to our unique academic programs, meet our faculty of teacher-mentors, and visit our residence halls and the Falcon Center. Most importantly, you'll discover our commitment to providing you a transformative education and the resources to succeed.
You may choose to visit in person or schedule a virtual tour you can enjoy from the comfort of your home.
When it comes to determining “value,” you have to look beyond the bottom line. Fairmont State University not only has one of the lowest tuition rates in the state, but because we have such stellar outcomes, our value is also unmatched.
