Our focus is on students, their needs, and their SUCCESS! We are a comprehensive university offering 168 degree programs and serving more than 16,000 students, yet 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 offers its students the personal attention they need to succeed. Classes are generally small. 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 220 student organizations, play intramural sports (EKU offers over 50 varsity, club, and intramural sports), try out for a play or a musical group... whatever your interests are, there's something here for you. EKU offers the leading fitness and wellness facility of any university in Kentucky.
