The West Virginia Junior College, originally Capitol City Commercial College, was established on September 1, 1892. The College was originally established to train students in secretarial and business office skills and has undergone changes in location and curriculum through the years to keep up-to-date with the changing need of area employers. Current program offerings include information technology and allied health majors in addition to the traditional business-oriented programs. In 2001, the College established an additional campus in Bridgeport to secure the career training needs of north central West Virginia residents.
