Welcome
to the Office of Admissions
As
the Office of Admissions director, I would like to welcome
you to Shepherd University! Shepherd
University is the meeting place of a world
you know and a world you'll have the time of your life experiencing.
The campus is situated on 323 acres in historic Shepherdstown,
West Virginia. Convenient to the cultural and educational
resources of Washington, D.C., and Baltimore and to the
natural resources of the Shenandoah Valley.
Shepherd
is a coeducational, state-supported, four year university
with a strong liberal arts emphasis in its curriculum. The
university was established in 1871 and currently serves approximately
4,800 students. This size, however, does not prohibit us from
offering small classes for a more personalized educational
experience. With offerings in more than 75 fields, our average
student-to-faculty ratio remains 19:1.
Campus
life is active with 11 NCAA Division II athletic teams, dozens
of campus organizations, and popular weekend events. One day
you might find yourself bicycling on a country road, rafting
down a river, or cheering on the football team. The next day
might find you in a crowd in the gallery of the U.S. Senate,
interning at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Research
Laboratory at Bardane, or apprenticing with the Contemporary
American Theater Festival. But that's not surprising. At Shepherd
University, opportunity is your neighbor.
I
encourage you and your family to visit Shepherd so that we
can show you around and talk with you about your college plans!
