| About this School |
| Bluefield College is a small Christian college in Bluefield, Virginia. It has about 850 students.
The school was founded by the General Baptist Association of Virginia in 1922. It offers 19 majors including business, education, Christian studies and criminal justice. The 65 acre (263,000 m²) campus is bounded on two sides by the state line between West Virginia and Virginia.
In 1996 the school, facing a declining enrollment, cut tuition by over 20% and refocused its student recruitment on the local area.
The school also has regional offices for its adult undergraduate degree completion programs in Roanoke, Virginia and Richmond, Virginia.
In sports the schools teams are known as the Rams and compete in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics and the Appalachian Athletic Conference.
Among its alumni, the school claims Nobel Prize winner John F. Nash, however Nash, already recognized as a genius, actually attended the college while in high school, and did not in fact earn transferable credits at the school. He obtained his undergraduate degree from Carnegie Institute of Technology and his graduate degrees at Princeton University.
The school is not related to Bluefield State College in nearby Bluefield, West Virginia.
