Kentucky Christian University School Description

The mission of Kentucky Christian College is to educate students for Christian leadership and service in the Church and in professions throughout the world.

Kentucky Christian University was established in Grayson, Kentucky, on December 1, 1919, as "Christian Normal Institute." Through the years, Kentucky Christian University has educated some of the most outstanding Christian Leaders, both in the church and in other professions throughout the world.

The belief that a Bible core and vocational preparation should coexist is distinctive at Kentucky Christian University. KCU has been equipping students to reach their dreams since its inception in 1919. Over the years those dreams have taken on different forms. Today, that dream may be to become a Youth Minister that changes countless lives. It may be to become a nurse and volunteer your time overseas. It may be to one day own your own record label and distribute your passion through music. Whatever that dream is, KCU is here to train you for it and to change your life in the process. When you leave KCU, you don't just leave with a piece of paper; you leave with an experience that is different from any other. It is an experience that focuses not just on the mind, but the heart and the spirit as well. That is what we mean when we say "KCU... experience difference".

Kentucky Christian University

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Kentucky Christian University (KCU) is a comprehensive baccalaureate level Christian university located in Grayson, Kentucky. It was founded on December 1, 1919, as Christian Normal Institute, by J. W. Lusby and J. O. Snodgrass. As a "normal school" its programs included a high school, a junior college, and a training program for public school teachers. During the early 1920s its emphasis shifted to educating students for the Christian ministry. Today, U.S. News and World Report recognizes KCU as one of the Top 50 comprehensive baccalaureate level universities in the South. Degree programs are offered in eight schools within the University: the School of Art and Science, the Sack School of Bible and Ministry, the School of Business, the Keeran School of Education, the School of Music, the School of Nursing, the School of Social Work and Human Services, and the Graduate School.

KCU is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and is authorized to award bachelors and masters degrees. All programs requiring professional licensure (i.e. Nursing, Social Work, and Teacher Education) are professionally accredited.

Every graduate of KCU takes a thirty-hour core in Biblical Studies and Theology, in addition to the liberal arts core and the student's major area of study (social work, education, ministry, etc.) This combination of biblical studies, liberal arts, and professional studies is a feature unique to Kentucky Christian University. It is the rationale for KCU's self-designation as "The Great Commission University."

Twice weekly chapel services are an important part of the KCU experience and contribute to a sense of community on campus. The University is also well known for the strength of its music and athletic programs (football, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's cross country, men's and women's soccer, woman's volleyball.) The University Concert Choir has produced several albums and performs nationally and internationally.
