ATHENS, WV (WVNS) — Concord University and Eastern West Virginia Community and Technical College partnered together to offer a degree in elementary education.

Bluefield University is ending the on-campus nursing program

In an agreement between Concord University and Eastern West Virginia Community and Technical College (Eastern WVCTC), a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education program will be offered to students at Eastern WVCTC by Concord University.

Our partnership with Concord University and Eastern offers adaptable online coursework, enabling students with hectic schedules to pursue their love for elementary education without compromising their obligations. We’re excited about the potential this collaboration offers! As we broaden access to education in elementary studies, we’re also eager to embark on future collaborations across other program domains.

We are excited to offer increased accessibility to our online elementary education program beyond our geographical region in WV. This agreement will provide accessibility to individuals who have professional goals they cannot reach by attending classes on campus during the day while working to provide for their families. Additionally, by being a state institution, Concord is aligned with WV teaching licensure requirements that outside online entities may not be as familiar with.

To get the degree, students will need to finish the Eastern Associate in Science (A.S.) with a focus in Concord University’s Elementary Education classes, and spend two years at each school. Once they finish their degree, they will get a West Virginia teaching certificate.
