Categories Comments Campus Safety In order to comply with the requirements of Title II of Public Law 101-542, The Crime Awareness and Campus security Act of 1990, Bluefield State College has collected statistics concerning the occurrence on campus of six specified categories of criminal offenses, as well as statistics concerning the number of arrests for three categories of crimes of violence. A summary of the required information is listed below and a complete report is available upon request to all students and employees, as well as any applicant for enrollment or employment, beginning September 1, 1992 from the office of Campus Security. Along with the CACS Act, BSC requires a security guard (an actual police officer) to be on the premises at all times.
Greek Life Bluefield State College currently host 2 fraternities (Lambda Chi Omega Fraternity and Delta Sigma Tau Fraternity) and 3 sororities (Delta Chi Omega Sorority, Phi Sigma Zeta Sorority, and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.) We also offer a Pan-Hellenic Council that hosts 2 fraternities (Kappa Alpha Psi and Omega Psi Phi) and 1 sorority (Delta Sigma Theta).
Clubs and Activities There are many amazing clubs and activities to participate in while attending Bluefield State College. Aside from the sports and intramurals, we have the Model U.N., SGA, Blue Chicory Players (theatre), Baptist Student Union, 3 different honor societies, Pre-Med Club, Blue Devil Press (yearbook and newspaper), Order of Omega, EnviroMentalists, Aristotle's Poetics, Organic Chemistry Club, BSC ASALH, the International Student Organization, and soo many more.
Great for these types of students Any and all!! Bluefield State College offers classes for all ages- varying from teenagers right out of college to middle-aged adult looking for a career change or simply desired knowledge. With an esteemed financial aid staff, BSC will help someone of any salary or means with scholarships, loans, grants, and more.
What to do for fun Bluefield State's athletic teams, known as the Big Blues, compete in NCAA's Division II as a member of the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in men's and women's basketball, baseball, tennis and cross-country, men's golf and women's volleyball. There are also several intramural sports including swimming, mixed martial arts, soccer, bowling and flag football.
Food and Dining BSC has the best food a school can offer! Run and operated by our culinary students, the Blue Wave Cafe provides students with breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks from Monday through Thursday. I encourage everyone (student, teacher, everybody!) to come to our cafeteria and enjoy ASAP.
Dorm Life I don't currently live on the dorms, but I am aqquainted with those who do and BSC really goes out of their way to set you up for the upcoming college year/s. BSC's Research and Development Corporation (owned and operated by Bluefield State) has a student residence and conference center that goes by the name, Mountain View. Mountain View and BSC go out of their way to help and pay for students' amenities, utilities, and even food for the dorms in today's struggling economy.
Academic Rigor Instructional programs are offered in engineering technologies, business, teacher education, arts and sciences, nursing and health science professions, and a variety of career fields. Students may also complete the non-traditional Regents Bachelor of Arts degree through Bluefield State College. The college is also dedicated to offering a wide variety of off campus courses at centers in Beckley, Lewisburg, Summersville and Welch, West Virginia. I'm currently attending for a Bachelors in Applied Science with a concentration in pre-medicine. The professors and instructors hail from all around the world, are certified and officially recognized, and offer personal help and tutoring.
Tips for prospective students Be prepared to work hard and play hard! Some students are put off by the rigorous agenda of some of the classes, but it is very necessary to learn from the best so that you can be the best!
In three sentences Bluefield State College is nationally accredited in over 14 major degree programs, and offers an outstanding and affordable academic experience. BSC, an historically black college, was built in 1895, which makes it the most historically rich and diversified school in West Virginia. I am very proud to be a future graduate from this wonderful college!

In three sentences I had a rough start, the school had to replace two of my professors because they quit. I ended up taking one course on-line, and am still learning how to use the computer. I was not awareof the total cost up front, so I am trying to find extra funding for school.
