West Virginia Northern Community College is a public higher education institution based in Wheeling, West Virginia. It was created in 1972 by the West Virginia Board of Regents as a dual-campus college drawn from the Hancock County Branch and the Wheeling Campus of West Liberty State College, with a mission to offer programs of two years or less to high school graduates and adults under open-door enrollment. The college expanded to New Martinsville with a campus established in 1975, and it provides a broad range of programs across arts and sciences, career-technical education, developmental studies and community service, awarding associate degrees and certificates. It serves a diverse student population that includes high school students admitted for early entrance and adults pursuing postsecondary education. A recent development is the 2025 opening of the Project BEST Executive Conference Center, reflecting ongoing expansion of the college's infrastructure and programs.
