About this school

Federal financial aid, including FAFSA and Pell Grants, can be used by students who qualify because the school participates in Title IV programs.

Federal outcome data shows a completion rate of 84.6%, which is above the West Virginia state average of 68.5%.

Given its single-program focus on LPN training and its location in a remote town setting, this campus may suit students seeking a direct path into practical nursing rather than a broad multi-program associate-degree environment. Adult learners or career changers considering this path should verify current accreditation status directly with the Council on Occupational Education and review the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard for the most current completion, debt, and earnings figures before enrolling, since not all outcome metrics are captured in this listing.
