When the county seat of Jefferson County, West Virginia, was moved from Shepherdstown to Charles Town in July 1871, the people in the area decided to use the vacant courthouse for educational purposes. An article of incorporation for a school to be known as Shepherd College, designed to instruct students “in languages, arts, and sciences,” was drawn up by the Board of Trustees. Joseph McMurran, principal, and two assistant professors were hired to teach the 42 students who began classes in September 1871.
On February 27, 1872, the state legislature passed an act which made the private institution a part of the state college system. In 1930, Shepherd became a four-year college dedicated to the training of teachers and was accredited to grant the Bachelor of Arts degree. A liberal arts program was approved in 1943, and in 1950 the Bachelor of Science degree was added.
In 2004, Governor Bob Wise signed legislation allowing Shepherd College to change its name to Shepherd University.
Shepherd serves 3,300 students and offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Arts in Secondary Education, Bachelor of Arts in Early Education, Bachelor of Music Education, Bachelor of Music in Performance, Regents Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Bachelor of Social Work, Master of Arts, Master of Business Administration, Master of Education, Master of Arts in Teaching, Master of Science, and Doctor of Nursing Practice.

College Banner Carriers
The degree candidates from each college or division are led into the commencement ceremony by the most senior faculty member of the college who is willing to serve in this capacity. The Regents Bachelor of Arts (R.B.A.) degree candidates are led by the director of the program or designee. The line of march for the colleges is determined by the year that Shepherd added the curriculum to the college/university.
R.B.A. degree candidates are led by Ms. Elizabeth Hansen, RBA Coordinator. The College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences is led by Dr. Kevin Williams, Department of Contemporary Art, Communication, and Theater. The College of Business, Recreation, and Education is led by Dr. Andro Barnett, Department of Recreation, Sports, and Exercise Science. The College of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Nursing is led by Dr. Robert Warburton, Department of Natural and Physical Sciences.
Academic Robes and Regalia
One of the most colorful traditions in modern academic life, academic regalia, has its origins in the medieval universities of Europe. Unheated buildings probably necessitated wearing the heavy, woolen gowns. Hoods then covered the monkscholars’ heads, eventually giving way to skullcaps, and finally to caps and mortarboards.
In 1895, American colleges and universities adopted a uniform code of academic dress. Bachelor’s degree recipients wear gowns with long, pointed sleeves; master’s degree recipients’ gowns have long, oblong, or square-cut sleeves; doctoral recipients’ gowns have closed, bell-shaped sleeves with three bars of velvet across the sleeve and velvet facing down the front of the gown.
Gowns are normally black, although some universities have authorized gowns in colors chosen by the institution.
The hoods are lined with the official color or colors of the college or university. The color of the velvet signifies the wearer’s field of learning. The tassel of the cap or mortarboard may be either black or reflect the scholarly subject; only doctoral recipients may have gold thread.
The Academic Costume Code specifies the following discipline/color relationships: arts, letters, and humanities–white; business–drab; economics–copper; education–light blue; engineering–orange; fine arts–brown; home economics–maroon; journalism–crimson; law–purple; library science–lemon; medicine–green; music–pink; nursing–apricot; philosophy–dark blue; physical education–sage green; public administration–peacock blue; science–golden yellow; and social work–citron.
Shepherd University Mace
TheShepherd University mace is a symbol of the authority, history, and culture of the University. Shepherd staff member Patrick Wallace and area artist Jacob Wysopal were commissioned in 2009 by Dr. Mark Stern to craft such a piece as his gift to the University upon his retirement from the position of vice president for academic affairs.
The mace is made of native West Virginia cherry wood and has the seal of the University on its shaft. The acanthus leaves at the top of the shaft represent the Corinthian columns of McMurran Hall, the original building within which the then Shepherd College, Normal and Collegiate, was housed. The University seal is placed on two sides of the leaves. Embedded within the mace is a stone fragment from McMurran Hall. The West Virginia sandstone marble at the top of the mace is of the same type as the sandstone from which the Rumsey Monument was created. The copper end-piece acknowledges the copper roofs that are found on campus and in Shepherdstown. In the copper base are fragments of every classroom building located on the Shepherd University campus and a copy of the April 29, 2009, edition of The Picket. The mace reflects Shepherd University’s commitment to learning, teaching, and serving the people of this region and beyond.
