Dear KSU Students, Prospective Students and Parents:
I welcome you to Kentucky State University at an exciting time in our history. KSU is growing in enrollment and expanding its programs to give our students the knowledge and ability to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
We will soon observe our 125th anniversary and celebrate the university’s growth from a primarily teacher’s college for black students to a culturally diverse campus. KSU was founded in 1886 as an affordable, accessible university. Today, the university offers high-quality undergraduate and graduate programs that prepare students for success at KSU and beyond in the workplace and in the community.
KSU’s slogan says that we are here to inspire innovation and grow leaders. But leaders don’t just grow on trees. At KSU, students are encouraged to excel academically in the classroom, do meaningful research in the lab, mature socially through participation in our many organizations and grow civically through community service. One of the most important decisions anyone makes is which college or university is right for him or her. Your interest in the KSU Catalogue indicates that you are giving serious consideration to becoming a KSU Thorobred or that you have already made that choice. In either case, we are delighted that you are interested in us.
