Wheeling University (Wheeling, WV), founded in 1954, offers a quality private education in a small school setting. Wheeling offers a mix of  undergraduate and six graduate programs,  thus providing students the foundation to succeed in graduate school or in a career.  Since 1995, U.S. News & World Report has consistently ranked Wheeling among the top institutions in its "Best Master’s Universities in the South" category. The student-to-faculty ratio is 14:1. Though a young University, the institution is rooted in the Catholic mission of higher education to prepare students to face the world with critical minds and compassionate hearts.
