REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingSince the school has around 600 students, the class sizes are small. My largest class has about 35 people in it, and that is as a freshman; therefore, as I continue my education and take specific courses for my major the class sizes will be even smaller which will increase my one on one time with my professors and increase my ability to understand the content and fully understand it all better. This all will increase my chance of getting a job if I know my material and information about my career choice.

I think the school is a great place to learn, and im really looking forward to furthering my education there.
Glenn from Jupiter, FL
This is a great school, it is small but not too small. The professors really care if you succeed or not. It is a christian school and has a relaxed atmosphere.
Craig from Taylorsville, KY
Not only are the general courses (math, history, English, etc.) at KCU excellent, the university also offers an outstanding array of biblical-based classes, giving the student training in required fields, but an educational experience that brings them closer to Christ. The courses are more challenging than you'll find at most schools, but the faculty and staff will do everything in their power to make sure you understand the material and assist you with your studies.
