The University

Welcome to Kentucky State University (KSU), home of the Thorobreds. KSU is located in Frankfort, Kentucky, a city with a population of more than 25,000 and the capital of our Commonwealth. Frankfort lies on the western edge of the commonwealth’s Bluegrass Region along the banks of the Kentucky River in a small valley bordered by limestone cliffs. Preservation of historic structures throughout the city adds to its picturesque quality. Easily accessible by major highways, Frankfort is within a short drive of Lexington, Louisville, and Cincinnati. Frankfort was established on the land of the Osage, Cherokee, Shawanwaki/Shawnee, Yuchi, Adena, and Hopewell people.
