Receive Online Tuition Discount

Bluefield University launched the Appalachian Educator Scholarship in September 2025. This award provides K-12 school employees in Virginia and West Virginia with a 15% tuition discount on online degree programs. The scholarship applies to public and private school staff, including teachers, administrators, and support personnel. For new undergraduates, the award could mean up to $7,380 in savings over the course of a degree. Graduate students are also eligible for discounted tuition. More information is available at bluefield.edu/AES. Anesthesia Program Heads to Virginia Bluefield University and VCOM announced plans to launch our MHSA program in 2027 on the VCOM-Virginia campus, making it the first such program in Virginia. The program will further address workforce shortages and healthcare accessibility within the state. The announcement follows March 2025 legislation that allows certified anesthesiologist assistants (CAAs) to practice in Virginia. For more than 50 years, CAAs have been an integral part of healthcare teams. Their rigorous education and training equip them to deliver exceptional care across diverse clinical settings.
