The campus of a recently shuttered university in West Virginia may soon see students again.
Alderson Broaddus University closed last year due to financial issues that led the private university to lose its ability to grant degrees.
On Wednesday, West Virginia Wesleyan College announced it is exploring offering courses, degree programs, and training opportunities on the Philippi campus. According to a post on the college’s website, the proposed offerings will initially focus on “health fields and a variety of other areas most immediately needed in the State and region.”
The plan is part of a partnership between Wesleyan and Battlers Knob LLC, the company that acquired the Alderson Broaddus campus in bankruptcy proceedings.
James Moore, president of West Virginia Wesleyan College, said in the press release that there are still “several steps to complete with accreditors” before classes can begin.
“We are excited about the potential of having a presence in this community, because community for us isn’t just local — it’s statewide,” Moore said.
