Mission Statement

KSU's liberal arts programs draw upon the unique diversity of the institution and its African-American heritage. As an 1890 Land Grant institution, KSU is committed to providing quality research and other community outreach initiatives. The work of the Office of Governmental Training meets the institution's statutory responsibility to serve public employees in the Commonwealth. Teacher education and other selected undergraduate and graduate programs are articulated through agreements with other institutions in the system. Admissions guidelines are consistent with the systemwide policy to provide broad access to our small classes within a nurturing and stimulating environment that prepares undergraduate and graduate students to become successful citizens and professionals. KSU is ever vigilant in its resolve to collaborate with other institutions in the Commonwealth to increase the effectiveness of Kentucky's postsecondary system, especially in the promotion of cost effectiveness, quality assurance and accountability.
