Dear KSU Students, Prospective Students and Parents:

The entire Kentucky State University community is eager to help you achieve your educational goals. You will quickly ascertain that our faculty is committed to academic excellence and that our staff is also dedicated to supporting students to achieve academic success.

One of KSU's enduring commitments is to provide access to opportunity for all students – opportunity to explore fields of study that interest them; we also provide the opportunity for students to participate in organizations and activities to develop their minds, bodies and spirits. There is also a high likelihood that they will have an opportunity to land their dream jobs.

At Kentucky State University, students come first, and diversity is valued, understood and respected. We believe that learning is a lifelong pursuit, and excellence starts with “me.” I encourage our students to plan their futures, be persistent and keep focusing on their dreams.

I strongly encourage all current and potential students to become familiar with the 2011-2012 Catalogue; it contains information that will assist you in becoming a successful student at Kentucky State University. You will find an overview of the university as well as information about our programs, program requirements, descriptions of majors and degrees, and of course a listing of all the courses offered at KSU.

For those who have not visited our campus, please call 502-597-5071 to schedule a tour. We would love to have you join us as one of our newest Kentucky State University Thorobreds! I can assure you that you will have a positive and rewarding experience at Kentucky State University.
