Plans
Though WJU talked with the former Mt. De Chantal Visitation Academy to rent, and eventually purchase the 160 year-old school's facilities and use them as classrooms, the facility's purchase by Wheeling Hospital seems to have ended such discussion. The school hoped to expand its graduate and health science programs, in addition to relocating the school's tutoring program (The ARC, or Academic Resource Center) to the building.
In the 2011–2012 school year, the university began the expansion of its fine arts programs. The university partners with River City Brass to offer instruction for its pep and symphonic bands. This music program also includes the establishment of a music major.
