Concord College Likely to Become Concord University in WV
Concord College faces a name change to Concord University if Gov. Bob Wise signs SB448. The bill could shift Bluefield State College two-year programs to a Raleigh County community college, prompting mixed campus reactions while preserving funding and the master’s program. Beasley argues the change serves regional education needs.
