Davis & Elkins College proudly announces a renewed academic partnership with the Randolph County Board of Education. This agreement offers the opportunity for Randolph County high school students to participate in in-person classes on the D&E campus.
The College joins the likes of several additional two-year and four-year institutions within West Virginia to offer these courses. Dual credit opportunities at D&E will be offered at a rate of $75 per course.
“We are excited to launch this dual credit academic partnership for Randolph County high school students!”, says Interim Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Brian W. Moudry. “Giving our local students the chance to come to our campus and engage with our outstanding faculty is a great opportunity for them and D&E as well. I am confident that their experience will be beneficial and enlightening, and we are excited to show them the high-quality education that we can offer at Davis & Elkins College.”
Davis & Elkins College President Chris A. Wood states, “D&E is proud to demonstrate our community commitment through this partnership with Randolph County Schools to offer high school students a seat in our classes, whether general education or upper level that is not available in their schools. For many, the collegiate experience at this early age will prepare them for their matriculation into higher education and give them a head start due to the college credits they will earn in high school. I particularly wish to thank Dr. Shawn Dilly for his cooperation and eagerness to partner with Davis & Elkins College to benefit Randolph County students.”
Dual credit courses will be offered starting in Spring of 2026, aiming to provide a wide variety of options for high school students. While course lists are yet to be fully developed, representatives of D&E are projected to present the program and course options in the coming weeks.
“This partnership between Randolph County Schools and Davis & Elkins College reflects our shared commitment to preparing students for the future,” says Superintendent Dr. Shawn Dilly. “By providing our high school students access to rigorous college-level courses and the vibrant academic environment at D&E, we are equipping them with the skills and experiences they need to succeed in higher education and beyond. We are thrilled to see this collaboration take shape and look forward to its positive impact on our students and community.”
