BLUEFIELD STATE UNIVERSITY

At Bluefield State College, leadership is found in giving strength to others. “We will give them tough love. We will not tolerate faithlessness in themselves,” one professor says. “We will say to them, ‘You can do this. Here are the tools. Let’s do it.’”

In a school whose history reflects more than a century of change, those commitments have remained—and will endure.  

The mission of Bluefield State University is to provide students an affordable, accessible opportunity for public higher education. Bluefield State University is committed to being the region’s leading institution of higher education. Embracing the diversity that shapes our world, we strive to assist students from all walks of life to achieve their personal and professional goals.
