Welcome to the Education Division
The Education Division is committed to creating an exemplary workforce to help shape our community, state and nation’s future…our children. WVU Parkersburg offers a variety of educational opportunities for students interested in a career in education. Our elementary program is based on the premise that the best place for pre-service teachers to learn about teaching is in public school classrooms. For this reason, you will begin working in a classroom as early as your freshman year.
