Eastern Kentucky University has signed a memorandum of
agreement to become part of the University Center of Southern Kentucky at
Somerset Community College.
The University Center of Southern Kentucky launched in May and
provides space for four-year partners to offer third and fourth year of bachelor’s
degree on SCCs Somerset Campus.
UCSK will have offerings from EKU, WKU, and Morehead State
University, and hopes to have offerings from the University of Kentucky in the
future.
Students will have the opportunity now to take the first two
years of classes at Somerset Community College, and then do the final two years
of their bachelor’s degree from one of the three partner regional universities,
without ever having to leave the SCC campus.
