EKU has aided me in several ways while pursuing my degree. I have had the support of professors, advisors, and mentors along the way. EKU was very flexible and accommodating in my scheduling to accomplish this in two years

Jessica Wagner

EKU Bachelor of Business Administration Graduate
The highlight of my time as an EKU Online student was getting to know my classmates. We were all at different points in our lives. Almost everyone had other commitments, being work, family, etc. but we were all making our education a priority. It was nice to be surrounded by other people that understood what I was going through.
