3 Questions Every Parent Asks About College
Is it a good school?
One of the best. WVU Tech offers top-quality education opportunities. U.S. News & World Report has consistently ranked our undergraduate engineering program as one of the nation’s top 100. We also offer highly rated liberal arts, health science, and public administration programs. Regardless of the major, a WVU Tech degree will build a strong foundation for success.
Is it safe?
One of the safest in the state. At West Virginia University Institute of Technology the safety of our students is a top priority. Likewise, our tightly knit community of Montgomery looks after each college student like they are family. However, being located 30 minutes from the State Capitol and the New River Gorge offers every student something to do.
Campus Police patrol campus 24 hours a day. WVU Tech officers are not security guards carrying only a walkie-talkie and a flashlight. Our officers are vested with full police powers identical to the local police in your home community.
When it comes to your student’s safety, don’t just take our word for it. The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act is Federal Legislation requiring all Universities to publish the crime stats for their college over the last three years. The Office of Post Secondary Education hosts a great site for comparing college crime stats across the nation. Visit it at http://ope.ed.gov/security/
Can we afford it?
Yes. WVU Tech offers an exceptional education value. Residents of West Virginia benefit from the state’s most reasonable tuition and fees. WVU Tech offers residents a variety of scholarships for academic performance, financial need, and for students who are first in their family to attend college.
Likewise, out-of-state students often find our tuition lower than their own in-state institutions. Furthermore, we provide scholarships for students pursuing a degree in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Finally, we offer a variety of lending options to make a great education affordable.
