of southern West Virginia. Bluefield State College was established
as a black teachers college by an act of the West Virginia
Legislature in 1895 and was integrated after 1954. By the 1960's the
College had a comprehensive four-year program of teacher education,
arts and sciences, and engineering technology. Gradually a variety
of two-year technical programs evolved in response to local needs.
