Why KCTCS?

It's Close: With 16 individually accredited colleges and over 70 campuses, KCTCS is within a 30-minute drive of 95 percent of all Kentuckians.

Lower Costs:  Our tuition is the lowest in the state—less than half of what you would pay at a four-year university. 

In-State Tuition:  All military-affiliated students using the GI Bill® and current service members and their spouses whose home of record is Kentucky will receive in-state tuition.  Online classes are available at in-state tuition rates for all students.

Online Classes:  KCTCS is the largest provider of online learning in Kentucky.  We currently offer 166 programs (degrees, diplomas, and certificates) that can be completed fully online, an option suitable for students who work, have childcare needs or other scheduling conflicts. 

Classes Fit Your Schedule:  KCTCS colleges offer course sessions in 4-16 week formats, so you can always find something to fit into your busy schedule.

Get a Job Faster:  KCTCS workforce development programs target Kentucky’s high growth industry sectors such as Healthcare, Manufacturing, Energy, Technology, Business, Transportation, and Logistics.  Some programs in these fields can be completed in four months or less—a great option for those service members and veterans wanting to return to the civilian workforce quickly with high-demand skills.

We Care:  Dedicated veteran services staff are available at each college and want to help you receive the full value of your educational benefits and help you succeed in college.
