Your Future Starts Here.

Whether to attend college may be the most important decision you ever make.

Studies show that a male college graduate in Kentucky can expect to make 60 percent more per week than a man with only a high school diploma.

For women, the difference is even more dramatic: A woman with a four-year degree will earn a weekly salary that's DOUBLE what a woman with a high school diploma earns.*

* Based on statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor, 2001.

About Eastern Kentucky

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.
