Bluefield College in Virginia Announces a New Tuition Plan

Molly Greenberg reported for DCInno on March 20, 2015 that Bluefield College in Bluefield, VA will be offering a significant reduction in tuition. The college's Pathways Program offers $12,000 tuition per year to students willing to forgo financial aid.

Bluefield College opened it's doors in 1922 after a study of the needs for higher education in southwestern Virginia by the Baptist General Association of Virginia. Enrollment is currently just over 840 students and the town of Bluefield in Tazewell County has a population just over 5,400. A history, Lighthouse on the Hills: The Bluefield College Story, can be viewed on the college's web site.

Small higher education institutions will be the primary focus of the Small College Garden. It will also highlight small college towns.

There is a Small College Garden group for those who would like to join discussion and share information through Facebook.

I will typically be posting links to newspaper articles and other information on institutions with fewer than 2,500 students or college towns with populations less than 25,000. I look forward to receiving your comments, suggestions or links to relevant resources!!

I maintain several blogs as a hobby and encourage you to check out the College History Garden for posts on colleges that have closed, merged, or changed names.
