KYSU Online - Global
Welcome to Kentucky State University Online (KYSU Online)!
At KYSU Online, we believe that education should be accessible to everyone, regardless of geographical location or busy schedules. Our online programs empower students to pursue their academic goals while maintaining flexibility and balance in their lives.
Why KYSU Online?
Quality Education & Instruction: KYSU Online’s faculty members are experts in their respective fields. Through external programs like those offered by the Association of College and University Educators (ACUE), which is endorsed by the American Council on Education (ACE), as well as ongoing internal training rooted in quality course design and high impact student engagement, our faculty ensure that students receive engaging and relevant content. This commitment to continuous faculty development ensures that the quality of instruction and course materials remains consistently high in all our online programs and courses.
Flexible Learning: KYSU Online adopts an asynchronous class structure that primarily uses an eight-week carousel model*. This approach allows students to organize their coursework around their busy lives—whether they’re juggling work, family, or other commitments. The flexibility eliminates the need for rigid schedules or commuting, making it an ideal choice for those with hectic lifestyles. *Some courses are offered in conventional 16-week sessions.
Supportive Community: At KYSU Online, students are part of a lively online community. Students can connect with fellow course takers, engage in discussions, and collaborate on projects. Additionally, a dedicated support team that includes an online student support concierge, instructional designers, and other online specialists stand ready to assist students throughout their learning journey, ensuring a smooth and rewarding educational experience.
Cutting-Edge Technology: KYSU Online relies on Canvas, a user-friendly learning platform accessible from anywhere. Through Canvas, students engage with multimedia content, submit assignments, and interact seamlessly with their peers and professors.
Affordability: Recognizing the financial challenges faced by students, KYSU Online offers competitive tuition rates and various financial aid options that includes a military and Kentucky state worker discount. Our commitment to affordability ensures that education remains accessible to all.
