West Virginia vs regional & national benchmarks
Medians aggregate institution-level College Scorecard fields unless noted. Enrollment is total undergraduate headcount summed across reporting campuses.
| Geography | In-state tuition | Net price | Median debt | Completion rate | Enrollment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| West Virginia (WV) | $7,112 | $9,114 | $13,000 | 46.0% | 101,533 |
| Southeast (region median) | $4,992 | $8,753 | $14,173 | 48.2% | 3,457,828 |
| United States | $5,512 | $9,967 | $13,432 | 50.3% | 14,484,370 |
Earnings & employment outcomes: West Virginia vs benchmarks
Scorecard does not publish formal job-placement rates. We use the share of the 8-year cohort reported as working and not enrolled (working ÷ working + not working) as a federal employment-outcome proxy. 2-yr and 3-yr default rates are federal cohort default shares (0–1 scale). We show 2-yr default as the primary benchmark; 3-yr default appears only when enough campuses report non-suppressed values (otherwise —). 3-yr repayment progress is the share of completers making progress on loans after 3 years. Sample: bachelor's-predominant institutions with enrollment ≥ 200. Medians pool campus-level values.
| Geography | Median earnings (10 yr) | Working & not enrolled (8 yr) | Retention (FT yr 1) | 2-yr default | 3-yr default | 3-yr repayment progress | Debt ÷ earnings |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| West Virginia (WV) | $44,512 | 87.2% | 66.3% | 10.4% | — | 61.7% | 0.49 |
| Southeast (region median) | $47,384 | 88.0% | 72.8% | 6.8% | — | 66.4% | 0.48 |

Analysis & insights
EDsmart Data aggregates institution-level College Scorecard data for this profile. Highlights below compare local medians to U.S. and regional benchmarks.
Costs & borrowing
West Virginia median public in-state tuition is $7,112, about +29.0% vs the national median. Versus the Southeast region, tuition is +42.5%.
Median graduate debt is $13,000 (-3.2% below the U.S. median of $13,432, and -8.3% vs the Southeast regional median of $14,173). Low sticker prices do not always mean low borrowing—living costs, time-to-degree, and aid mix matter.
Student debt rank: #23 nationally of 48 (lower debt = better rank); #4 in Southeast of 12 (1 = lowest median debt).
On published in-state tuition, West Virginia ranks #39 nationally (1 = lowest median sticker among states with data).
Earnings, employment & retention
Among bachelor's-predominant campuses with ≥200 students, median 10-year earnings in West Virginia are $44,512, about -18.1% vs the U.S. campus median ($54,323).
The median campus reports 87.2% of its 8-year cohort as working and not enrolled—our closest federal proxy to a placement rate. The U.S. campus median is 87.9% (-0.7 pp). Formal job-placement statistics are not published in Scorecard; treat this as a comparative outcome indicator, not a hire guarantee.
First-year, full-time retention at the median campus is 66.3% vs a U.S. median of 76.3%—a leading indicator for completion and time-to-degree.
Loan repayment indicators at the median campus: 2-yr default 10.4% (U.S. 5.0%); 3-yr repayment progress 61.7% (U.S. 73.7%). 3-yr default is omitted when most campuses report suppressed zeros.
Nationally, West Virginia ranks earnings #48 and employment proxy #31 on these outcome medians (1 = best).
Top employment-outcome campuses in this extract include West Liberty University (93.2%), Wheeling University (93.1%), Shepherd University (89.7%), Davis & Elkins College (88.7%), West Virginia Wesleyan College (88.7%), Marshall University (87.7%), Fairmont State University (87.2%), West Virginia University Institute of Technology (87.2%), West Virginia University (87.2%), Bethany College (87.2%)—useful anchors for local reporting on where graduates are most often working rather than still enrolled.
