I'll tell you all about Bluefield College. It's a small, Christian liberal arts college in the town of

Bluefield. Folksy Bluefield is in SW Virginia. It sits on the VA-WV border. In fact, you could probably hit a foul ball into WV from the Bluefield ball fields. I'll look into that possibility.
Majors: 22
Mascot: rams
Tuition: $21,000/yr
Average total enrollment (including on-campus and on-line students): less than 1000
As for Bluefield's rich history in healthcare education, they have an online RN-BSN program.
Last fall, Tazewell County and Bluefield announced a collaboration to open a dental school. They also hinted at hygienists and therapists. Real go-getters. The goal is to serve the Appalachian region which apparently needs dentists. They're still working on the funds to actually build the school (minor detail). But they're looking for a dean and putting together a board. UNLV's dean is acting as a hired consultant until they find an inaugural dean. A Captain Crunch-looking character would be fun. Dean Crunch. They are shooting for a 2015 inaugural enrollment.
There isn't a real name yet, as far as I know. And I'm obviously up to date on all things Bluefield. I saw Tazewell Dental School mentioned in one place. Tazewell. That gets a thumbs down from me. If they scrap Dr. West and let me consult (paid, of course), my first order of business is to assure that there will be a distinctive double 'college' in the name: Bluefield College College of Dental Medicine. BCCDM Rams! Powerful!
