REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingWhen I visited BCTC to see their campus and find out more about what their professors had to offer me, I quickly realized how much more attention I will receive from the staff here when it comes to my school work. The classes are smaller and the professors are beyond helpful. I am very excited about starting here because I feel more comfortable approaching the faculty.
Kaitlyn from Louisville, KY
A great place to do 'distance learning' like I do. There are tons of online class options because you can technically take any distance class from any KCTCS Campus that is offered.
Laura from Shelbyville, KY
Bluegrass Community and Technical College (BCTC) is a nice community college. This is my first year studying at BCTC, and I have found that the advisers and instructors are helpful and friendly as well as knowledgeable.
Natasha from Lexington, KY
The class sizes are much smaller than a large university, making things much more hands on and personal. You can learn a lot at this school and the professors are very helpful.
