    One Hundred and Forty-fifth Commencement May 5, 2018 One Hundred and Forty-fifth Commencement May 5, 2018 3. History of Shepherd University hen the county seat of Jefferson County, West Virginia, was moved from Shepherdstown to Charles Town in July 1871, Wthe people in the area decided to use the vacant courthouse for educational purposes. An article of incorporation for a school to be known as Shepherd College, designed to instruct students “in languages, arts, and sciences,” was drawn up by the Board of Trustees. Joseph McMurran, principal, and two assistant professors were hired to teach the 42 students who began classes in September 1871. On February 27, 1872, the state legislature passed an act which made the private institution a part of the state college system. In 1930, Shepherd became a four-year college dedicated to the training of teachers and was accredited to grant the Bachelor of Arts degree. A liberal arts program was approved in 1943, and in 1950 the Bachelor of Science degree was added. In 2004, Governor Bob Wise signed legislation allowing Shepherd College to change its name to Shepherd University. Shepherd serves 3,800 students and offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Arts in elementary education, Bachelor of Arts in secondary education, Bachelor of Arts in early education, Bachelor of Music Educa- tion, Bachelor of Music in Performance, Regents Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Bachelor of Social Work, Master of Arts, Master of Business Administration, Master of Arts in Teaching, Master of Science, and Doctor of Nursing Practice.

  • R.B.A. Student Handbook
    REGENTS BACHELOR OF ARTS (R.B.A.) DEGREE PROGRAM STUDENT HANDBOOK SHEPHERD UNIVERSITY REGENTS BACHELOR OF ARTS (R.B.A.) DEGREE PROGRAM STUDENT HANDBOOK R.B.A. Mission Statement The Regents Bachelor of Arts degree is a program designed for adult students. It pro- vides a structured, yet flexible means of pursuing a baccalaureate degree. In addition to regular college coursework, this unique program allows students with diverse life and work experiences to prepare evaluation materials for possible college equivalent credit. Overview The R.B.A. program assumes that adults have different needs and goals than tradi- tional undergraduates; time, space, and program requirements are designed to meet the special needs of the adult learner. The program is designed to provide students with a comprehensive general education without the requirement of a major or a minor. It is a flexible, yet structured program that provides incentive for the mature student to return to college studies. It also meets the needs of many adults who have had no previous college work. The R.B.A. program was created by the West Virginia State Board of Regents in 1975. Although that board no longer exists, the degree program continues in the 10 public colleges and universities in the state: Shepherd University, West Virginia University, Bluefield State College, Concord University, Glenville State College, West Virginia University Institute of Technology, West Liberty University, Fairmont State Univer- sity, West Virginia State University, and Marshall University. Frequently Asked Questions about the “Value” of the Regents B.A. Degree Q. Can I go on to graduate or professional school with a R.B.A.
