From biomass to neurosciences to gravitational waves, and from understanding humans and history to creating art and music, our research and expertise stretches beyond West Virginia.
This is why we are R1 – the highest research activity as defined by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education.

Therefore, we are nurturing the desire to innovate, to find solutions and to make the world a better place—in every classroom, every laboratory and every discipline across our University.
