West Virginia University Institute of Technology is a four-year college located in Montgomery, West Virginia. It is the largest regional campus of West Virginia University and is separately accredited from the main campus of WVU in Morgantown.

The school was founded at the sub-college level Montgomery Preparatory School of WVU in 1895. In 1917 it was separated from WVU and renamed the West Virginia Trade School. Next, in 1921, it reached the junior college level as the New River State School. It became a four-year college as New River State College in 1931 and was renamed the West Virginia Institute of Technology in 1941. It began to grant degrees in engineering in 1952.

The school added a community college in 1966 and it began to grant the master's degree in engineering in 1978.

In 1996 the school was re-merged back into West Virginia University under its current name. While it remains a school founded on engineering and technology, it offers degrees in a wide variety of other subjects as well. It offers extension courses in engineering on both the main campus of Marshall University in Huntington and at that school's graduate branch in South Charleston, as Marshall does not offer undergraduate degrees in engineering.

In 2004 the city council of Montgomery expressed concern that the state government would transfer the engineering program to Marshall altogether.

Locals generally call the school WVU Tech, West Virginia Tech, or simply Tech. Care should be taken not to confuse it with the much larger Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, commonly known as Virginia Tech.

The school's athletic teams are known as the Golden Bears, and compete in the NCAA Division II West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.
