Graduate Studies at Northern Kentucky University

NKU’s graduate programs are geared to the adult worker wishing to pursue graduate studies on a part-time basis, although full-time enrollment is also possible in most programs. These are professional degrees, with course content designed to enhance a student's career objectives. The programs of study were developed in conjunction with community and business leaders in their field, and therefore ensure that local employers have the skilled employees they seek.

Courses are created and taught by faculty who are recognized in their field. Class sizes are kept small to allow student to receive personalized and individualized attention. Most of the classes in all our programs are offered in the evenings. Some are offered on the weekend and others are online. This flexible scheduling is designed to meet the demanding time commitments of the graduate student. Because many of your fellow students at NKU are working in professional settings, you will be able to build a network that will help you throughout your career.

We combine the availability of quality graduate programs with the affordability of a regional university.
