The West Virginia Junior College Bridgeport Campus was established in 2001 to meet the growing needs for technical, medical, and business training in north central West Virginia. It is non-main campus of the West Virginia Junior College, Charleston, WV, which was named Capitol City Commercial College, when it was established on September 1, 1892. The Institution was originally established to train students in secretarial and business office skills and has undergone changes in location and curriculum through the years to keep up-to-date with the changing need of area employers.
