BUCKHANNON, W.Va. (WBOY) – West Virginia Wesleyan College (WVWC) announced that a new major focused on leadership skills will be coming to the school.
According to a WVWC release, this “interdisciplinary major of Public Service” will be used to prepare students for leadership careers in various settings, choosing between a concentration in either public administration or community engagement.
