Alderson Broaddus University

The Office of Student Affairs is committed to furthering the mission of Alderson Broaddus University by creating a safe and vibrant campus life for all students, preparing them to become leaders and global citizens. Our goal is achieved by encouraging the cognitive, personal, social, and spiritual growth of each AB student by providing opportunities for community and civic engagement, co-curricular involvement, and residential living. 

In order to fulfill its educational purposes, Alderson Broaddus University is primarily a residential institution and requires all single, full-time undergraduate students to reside in residence halls. Exceptions to this requirement MAY be made for single students who meet at least one (1) of the following requirements:

-Residing with parent(s), grandparent(s), or a legal guardian within a 50 mile radius of Philippi (must complete and submit a Parental Statement form), or-Enrolled for an off-campus experience at least 50 miles from Philippi as part of graduation requirements, or-24 years of age or older, or-Honorably discharged military veterans (need documentation), 

The Alderson University library provides virtually all materials students need to complete class assignments. Paid subscription academic databases, available anytime and anywhere on or off campus, account for 98% of the use of library resources.

These Internet accessible full-text and audio resources include:

-Hundreds of electronic reference books

-Over 50,000 university and professional press books
