Welcome

EKU is committed to bringing quality education to Eastern Kentucky. The university is enriched by the communities it serves and it's partnership with The University Center of the Mountains and Hazard Community Technical College.

EKU students can continue their education beyond the Associate degree by enrolling in the classes required to complete a Bachelor’s or Masters degree. Current baccalaureate degree offerings include Nursing, Criminal Justice, General Studies, Paralegal Studies and Industrial Technology. Graduate programs in Nursing, Corrections, Education, and Career and Technical Education are also available. Classes are taught in classrooms at Hazard Community and Technical College by EKU faculty.
