Welcome to the Fairmont State University College of Business & Aviation. The College of Business & Aviation aspires to be the preeminent regional business college in West Virginia and the surrounding area, recognized for academic excellence and for contributing to the overall development of our region and broader environment. We are committed to delivering a quality business education through effective teaching in a caring learning environment that is responsive to the shared needs of students, employers, and the community.
We are investing over $1,000,000 in the College of Business & Aviation to improve student success. The million-dollar investment was used to develop a Peer Mentoring program, re-design courses to utilize more active, experiential, and collaborative learning, and renovate classrooms to create technology-rich learning environments.
