Veterans Resource Center

The Veterans Resource Center (VRC) of West Virginia University at Parkersburg recognizes the service of our veteran students to our country and the sacrifices made in the process. It is our goal to provide a learning environment that conveys the college’s appreciation and offers the tools and services necessary for veterans to achieve academic success. Over 200 veterans and dependents are currently taking advantage of the many degree certificates, associate and bachelor’s degrees, and other classes and programs to further their academic and professional interests.

West Virginia University at Parkersburg welcomes all men and women who served in the U.S. Armed Forces. Whether you are a discharged veteran, still serving on active duty, in the National Guard or Reserves or a family member, we are committed to supporting and encouraging your success.
