Congratulations to our outstanding seniors and graduate assistants for 2019-2020!

The West Virginia University Eberly College of Arts and Sciences is ahead of many other universities across the country in offering all biology, chemistry and physics labs online this summer.

This is the first time WVU has offered all basic labs online. In many classes, it means students can experience even more in the online lab than they could in a face-to-face lab.
