Pierpont Community and Technical College

Pierpont Community & Technical College offers a focused educational experience designed to empower students with practical skills. As a dedicated community and technical institution, Pierpont plays a vital role in preparing its students for successful careers and contributing to the workforce.

The college boasts a distinctive history, originating in 1974 as Fairmont State Community & Technical College, initially a component of Fairmont State College. A pivotal moment arrived in 2006 when it was proudly renamed Pierpont Community & Technical College, honoring Francis H. Pierpont, and became a division of Fairmont State University. This evolution culminated in 2007 when Pierpont achieved full independence, establishing its own board of governors.

This journey to independence underscores Pierpont's commitment to delivering specialized community and technical education tailored to the needs of its students and the surrounding region. It stands as a testament to practical learning and career readiness, guided by its unique heritage and a forward-looking vision.
