With 73% of students participating in internships and field experiences within the local community, Wheeling certainly earns its reputation of being a small town with big opportunities.

Situated in the northern panhandle of West Virginia on the Ohio River, Wheeling is a tight-knit, safe community with all the amenities of a large city. Wheeling's charm includes unique stores and shopping complexes, beautiful parks, walking trails, coffee shops and its very own symphony.
