WVNCC currently has formalized agreements with Bethany College, Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science, Franciscan University of Steubenville, Marshall University, Salem University, University of Charleston, West Liberty University, West Virginia University, West Virginia Wesleyan College, Wheeling University, Western Governors University, and WV State University. Northern is continuously adding transfer agreements for graduates, so students are advised to meet with their advisor or the transfer counselor to learn more.
These agreements facilitate the transfer of academically qualified students; and, therefore, help Northern graduates gain junior admittance status at four-year institutions. Students are encouraged to work with the transfer counselor at both WVNCC and at the anticipated bachelor degree-granting institution so together they can determine which classes are necessary to fulfill graduation requirements.
