General Education Mission


General education is “general” in several clearly identifiable ways: it is not directly related to a student‘s formal technical, vocational, or professional preparation; it is a part of every student‘s course of study, regardless of his or her area of emphasis; and it is intended to impart common knowledge, intellectual concepts, and attitudes that every educated person should possess.

West Virginia University at Parkersburg espouses the philosophy that education is both idea and act. Students are encouraged to think, to read, and to know, as well as to apply. In the general education courses, students are encouraged to challenge themselves in the following areas:

Demonstrate capabilities in

  • Reading, writing, speaking, listening
  • Abstract inquiry
  • Logical reasoning
  • Problem solving
  • Technological proficiency

Increase understanding in

  • Numerical data
  • Scientific inquiry
  • Global issues
  • Historical perspectives
  • Literary and/or philosophical expression of ideas

Develop an awareness of

  • Ethical perspectives
  • Cultural value systems

Expand appreciation of

  • Fine and performing arts

General education supports the notion of a free, democratic society which, in turn, demands an informed, thoughtful, and ethical citizenry. Through general education, students are encouraged to observe how people are connected to each  other, thereby discovering their common humanity. The core is designed to expose students to those activities and patterns of thought which are most truly human: the sciences, history, literature, and the arts. Through the core studies, students are encouraged to think critically and analytically, to integrate knowledge, to solve problems, to be innovative, to synthesize ideas and actions, and to care about the public good. In essence, General Education is a study of human life and a quest for knowing the best way to live.

 

Foundational Learning Courses (FLCs):

To ensure breadth and depth as students meet these broad education goals and meet the Institutional Learning Outcomes (ILOs), the curriculum focuses on six academic categories.

HUMANITIES, FINE ARTS, AND SOCIAL SCIENCES


The Humanities, Fine Arts, and Social Sciences Division (HFA&SS) at WVU Parkersburg is committed to supporting the academic success of each of our students.

This division supports the development of the skills employers most want when they are deciding which new college graduates to hire. These include the ability to communicate verbally, (both orally and written), to collaborate with others, to plan and organize projects, and development in decision making, problem-solving, listening, and multicultural awareness.


Degrees available include:

Certificate in Applied Science in Digital Media Production
Certificate in Applied Science in General Education
Associate of Applied Science in Digital Communication
Associate of Applied Science in Digital Media Production
Associate of Applied Science in Strategic Communication
Associate of Arts Degree
Bachelor of Applied Science in Communication and Media Studies
Bachelor of Arts in Multidisciplinary Studies

 

ASSOCIATE OF ARTS
The AA degree is a valuable transfer degree that offers the General Education requirements expected by most four-year institutions. The AA degree will provide students with the breadth of knowledge that four-year institutions seek.


The AA degree is the foundation for many of the following majors:

  • The AA degree is also the first two years of the Multi-Disciplinary Studies Bachelor of Arts degree and Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education.
  • Art
  • Communication and Media Studies
  • English
  • French
  • Geography
  • German
  • History
  • Mathematics
  • Music
  • Philosophy
  • Political Science
  • Psychology
  • Religion
  • Social Work
  • Sociology
  • Spanish
  • Theater


Along with the General Education courses, the AA degree also has the option of ‘free’ electives, which may prepare students for their choice of major, depending on the discipline they wish to study and how they will focus their education long term. If students know what they want to major in for their four-year degree, they should take classes in that major as their electives.

NURSING AND HEALTH SCIENCES DIVISION


The Nursing and Health Sciences Division at WVU Parkersburg is committed to supporting the college’s mission in providing “accessible, life-changing educational opportunities in a safe and supportive environment.” Careers within healthcare are one of the fastest growing areas of opportunity. According to the United States Bureau of Labor and Statistics at www.bls.org, employment in occupations related to health care is projected to increase in the coming years. This growth in employment is driven by technological advances in patient care, an increasing emphasis on preventive care, and an increase in the elderly population. Health care occupations with the largest projected employment increases are registered nurses; home health aides; patient care technicians; medical assistants; licensed practical and licensed vocational nurses; and surgical technicians.

Careers in health care are exciting, rewarding, and offer a lifetime of fulfillment. The Nursing and Health Sciences Division ascribes to the college’s commitment to provide academic excellence. We pride ourselves on the quality of education we have to offer as well as the success our graduates enjoy. Information about the degrees offered through the Nursing and Health Sciences Division can be found on the college’s website at www.wvup.edu/healthsciences.

Degrees available include:
Certificate of Applied Science (CAS) Patient Care Technician
Certificate of Applied Science (CAS) Pharmacy Technician
Associate of Applied Science (AAS) Nursing
Associate of Applied Science (AAS) Surgical Technology

Associate in Applied Science completion degree for Certified Surgical Technicians
Bachelor of Science (RN-BSN) Nursing 


In addition to meeting the requirements for general admission to the college, students requesting admission to programs within the Nursing and Health Sciences Division must meet individual program admission requirements, complete a Nursing and Health Sciences Application and adhere to the clinical practice program requirements. Questions regarding the application process, program requirements, and course of study should be directed to the Nursing and Health Sciences Division at 304-424-8300.


REQUIREMENTS for PARTICIPATION IN CLINCIAL EXPERIENCES
Programs within the Nursing and Health Sciences Division have a clinical component that requires rotations into community health care agencies for patient care. Travel to these agencies is the responsibility of the student. Therefore, each student admitted into a Nursing and Health Sciences program must meet the requirements for participation in clinical experiences. Students are required to have a physical examination and complete required immunizations, maintain current CPR certification, submit to drug testing and background check, complete required education as determined by the affiliate health care agencies, and adhere to HIPAA regulations and the Professional Standards/Safe Clinical Practice Standards of the program. The requirements for participation in clinical experiences can be found online at www.wvup.edu/healthsciences.

The WVU Parkersburg administration reserves the right to amend this documentation, upon recommendation of the Nursing Faculty Organization, without notice to insure the integrity of the program and safety of the students, college, and community at large.

Even though this catalog describes courses required to complete the programs within the Nursing and Health Sciences Division, it is not prescriptive or intended to replace counsel from an academic advisor. Course availability may vary and students are strongly encouraged to consult an academic advisor concerning course sequence and degree requirements.
