Fairmont State turns opportunity, passion, and hard work into excellence in a vibrant, close-knit campus community where students and teachers become your friends for life. Here you’ll enjoy the opportunities offered by a comprehensive state university combined with the personal attention and campus atmosphere you’d expect from a small private school. Being the biggest or most exclusive school has never been our goal. We just want to be the school that prepares hard-working, passionate students like you for a lifetime of success.
