OP here. Thanks for bringing up UVA-Wise, PP. I freely confess I know nothing about this one. I should go look up the Common Data Set for it.


It was established in the 1950s because there wasn't a college in Virginia west of Radford. It was originally a 2 year school. It largely serves students from the surrounding area, which is relatively poor. But there is a transfer agreement to UVA in Charlottesville.



I'm not aware of a transfer agreement to UVA but it could exist. It is much easier to get into UVA-Wise. It's primarily known for its nursing and education programs.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Virginia%27s_College_at_Wise
