Health Sciences Commencement

Choosing WVU to pursue dental hygiene was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. This program challenged me in the best ways—academically, professionally and personally.

“WVU was the most cost-effective option since the University and the School of Nursing offer many scholarships. We chose the Morgantown Campus because it wasn’t my hometown, but it wasn’t too far away. All the factors like location, price and program lined up perfectly. It was so easy to find information about the WVU Nursing program. When we were researching colleges, we found we could see the whole course catalog and what you take every semester. It was super organized and easy to figure out.”

WVU provided me with a variety of opportunities to further myself as a person both academically and socially. The resources at the university are abundant and all the staff want to assist students to be the most successful that they can be. WVU provided me with the foundation to start my career, and the necessary tools to further my education.

Overall, through this program, I have been able to be more than just a hygiene student. I am a leader, a mentor, a friend, a volunteer and a person my childhood self would be proud of.

Professors are always helpful, and it's clear that they are invested in the future success of their students. The ability to rotate at clinical sites for a semester exposes students to real-world applications of what we investigate in the classroom.
