Reporting-period change
What changed in 2024
Concord University increased from 0 to 2 reported on-campus incidents between the 2023 and 2024 reporting years in the U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey.
This is a change in reported incidents, not a measure of individual safety. Enrollment, reporting practice, and category coverage can affect the count.

Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 25 WV 4-year peers in this comparison, Concord University is larger than 63% and safer-reporting than 33% - the larger, higher-reporting quadrant. Axes are within-sample percentiles so outliers share the same frame; a higher safety percentile means a lower Clery incidents-per-1,000 rate.

Sample of 12 campuses from the plot (sorted by enrollment). Source: U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey + IPEDS enrollment. Rate = on-campus Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students; lower is safer-reporting, not a personal-risk forecast.
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Concord University rose from 0 to 2. The increase shows up in Rape (0 to 2).
This describes reported incidents, not crime. Clery counts move with reporting policy, awareness campaigns and how a campus staffs its security authorities, so a rise can reflect better capture of reports and a fall can reflect worse capture. One year of movement at a single campus is not a trend.
What actually gets reported at Concord University
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 3 Clery Act categories here: Rape, Burglary and Fondling.
The remaining 8 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Arson, Incest and Motor Vehicle Theft. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Cost context
Where Concord University sits on price and outcomes
At $9,966, Concord University's reported average net price is cheaper than 48% among 60 West Virginia colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $9,988.
- $9,966
- average net price
- $9,988
- West Virginia median
- 1.8×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $7,451
- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $8,021, while those above $110,000 record $15,472 - roughly 1.9 times as much. A published average of $9,966 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $33,094, roughly 3.3 times a year of net price. That is a workable ratio, though it says nothing about how long the programme takes to finish.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
