The Kentucky Life
Kentucky is famous for horse racing, bourbon production, college basketball, fried chicken, and coal mining. It’s known as the Bluegrass State for the color of the grass that grows in the fertile Kentucky soil. That same soil allows Kentucky to lead the nation in burley tobacco production and the leading beef cattle state east of the Mississippi. The diversity of economic interest and the fame associated with certain products from Kentucky has helped the state weather many economic downturns over the years. But Kentucky deserves extra credit for the quality of its colleges and universities.
Higher Education in the Bluegrass State
When most people think of higher education in Kentucky they think of basketball. However, there are other claims to fame. Kentucky has two major research institutions, The University of Kentucky and the University of Louisville. The state is also home to six other regional universities, many of them with a specific focus. Eastern Kentucky offers a specific Forestry major and Western Kentucky University offers a focus on Cave Management, for example. These programs are affordable for Kentucky residents and help to bolster the regional economy by supplying a steady stream of well-trained workers from their traditional or online programs. Two-year schools, private institutions, and fully online programs available around the state help make sure that quality education is available to everyone.
