ABOUT
Fairmont State University sits on a charming hilltop in Fairmont, West Virginia, a friendly city surrounded by nature. Around here, winding rivers cut through the hills and mountains of Appalachia, giving our campus community unrivaled access to the outdoors.
Here, you’ll enjoy the opportunities offered by a state university combined with the personal attention and 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 students for a lifetime of success.
