EDUCATION
Eastern Kentucky University
Eastern Kentucky University
was founded in 1906 with a faculty of seven. In 1909, when the first
commencement was held, 11 people received degrees. Over the last century, we've
grown to a full-fledged comprehensive university offering 168 degree programs
and serving more than 15,000 students a year. But we haven't lost that
small-college feel.
With a student-faculty ratio of just
17-1 and a strong emphasis on student success,
EKU is able to offer its students the personal attention they need to
succeed. Classes are generally small, and they're usually taught by
professors, not graduate students. Our professors will take a genuine
interest in how you're doing. There's no getting lost in the crowd here.
You won't be just a face in the
crowd when it comes to campus life, either. There's always something going
on to capture your interest and help you make new friends. You can get
involved in one of the 175 student organizations, play intramural sports,
try out for a play or a musical group... whatever your interests are,
there's something here for you.
National College
The fundamental purpose of
National College is to
educate men and women for the duties and responsibilities of business life
and to help place them in positions which hold ample opportunities for
career advancement.
The College attempts to instill in
our graduates the desire to take initiative in directing their professional
lives and the ability to adapt effectively to the challenges and demands of
modern business. Our aim is to have the resources, curriculum, staff, and
faculty that motivate and prepare students for success in well-defined
fields of employment.
