GOAL 1— Enhance student enrollment, improve student life and engagement, and improve student advising and career development.
The academic growth and innovative structure provides new and improved collaborative research, teaching, and service opportunities for faculty and students. Even more, it portends the anticipated development of new academic majors. New programs (particularly, at the graduate level) will serve as a magnet for faculty, students, stakeholders, industry, and government.
GOAL 2 – Achieve academic excellence across all programs and colleges, increase student general education skills, degree persistence, career readiness and graduation rates.
This structure supports the requisite curricular requirements of each of the existing Kentucky State University degree majors, Council on Postsecondary Education guidelines for general education, and provides rich context to the establishment of new academic offerings. Each of the academic college configurations results in significantly increased benefits and opportunities.
The proposed academic structure will lead to the organization of Kentucky State University Schools, Departments, and Programs organized by College.
