PHILIPPI, W.Va. – – Alderson Broaddus University (AB) and the West Virginia

Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation (WVDCR) signed an affiliation agreement to provide

educational opportunities for corrections officers and employees.

 

Using existing training, West Virginia corrections officers and employees can earn up to 18 credit hours at

  1. These prior learning credits will count towards the completion of an Associate of Arts and/or a

Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice.

 

“We are excited about this new agreement and the opportunities it will present for the development of

WVDCR staff,” said Brad Douglas, WVDCR acting commissioner. “We are looking forward to working with

Alderson Broaddus to help our staff further their education, which will not only benefit them moving

forward, but it also benefits our agency and the State of West Virginia.”

 

In addition to prior learning credits, corrections officers and employees can apply transfer credit from

other institutions towards these degree programs. All other courses will be offered online through AB’s

extended learning initiative at a reduced tuition rate.

 

“We are thrilled to be able to partner with the Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation,” stated Dr.

Andrea Bucklew, AB provost and executive vice president for academic affairs. “It is our hope that this

agreement will create a pathway for officers and employees to complete a college degree while receiving

credit for the knowledge and skills they have already acquired through their training with the WVDCR.”

This is AB’s second articulation agreement with a state agency. The first, with the West Virginia

Department of Education, was enacted in 2020.
