1 The college years, when the self-identity is formed, lifetime friends are found, and personal goals are given the sustenance needed to take root, are perhaps the most important years in one's life and it is for this reason that Shepherd College has striven to become the evolving and comprehensive center of higher learning that it is today. Atop the banks of the Potomac River and nestled in historic Shepherdstown, the college attracts students from throughout the country by offering a number of related, yet distinct educational opportunities on campus, as well as through its extensive resources and offerings in the South Branch Valley counties. Shepherd College offers bachelor of arts and bachelor of science degrees in a wide range of fields, encompassing the liberal arts, business administration, teacher education and other career-oriented areas. The college also has a diverse selection of programs leading to associate degrees. Shepherd can provide credit courses for individuals with no degree aspirations, but who seek to broaden and update their knowledge in either familiar or new fields of intellectual endeavor. For the Shenandoah Valley as a whole, the college is a center for non-credit continuing education, public service, and extensive programs in art, music, theatre, athletics and other areas of public interest. In addition to the traditional August-May term, the college also offers a summer term as an integral part of the school year.
