A strong teaching faculty is the principal academic resource of Wheeling Jesuit University. All courses are taught by full-time or adjunct faculty members with advanced degrees.
Most senior faculty teach introductory as well as advanced seminars.
While teaching is the primary concern of the faculty, the University encourages continuing education and research through a sabbatical program and faculty development funds. The Hodges library is a fully automated library whose on-line catalog, which includes both book and periodical holdings, may be accessed from remote locations. Also, nine CD-ROM databases are available for use in the library. Chemical Abstracts, on-line, may be searched with the consultation of the reference librarian. ITS is a faculty and student resource offering a place to work on computer related assignments, to focus computer questions, and to order computer hardware and software.
