Marshall University claims to be the oldest based on the fact that Isaac Peck's school of instruction that began during summer 1837 at Mt. Hebron Church became Marshall Academy the following year. This predates the "oldest college" claims of another college, West Liberty, by nearly a year.
Then there is Bethany College which, at the time of the West Virginia's formation in 1863, was the only institution providing actual collegial curricula. Bethany was chartered as a "college" by the Virginia General Assembly on 2 March 1840.
