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.

Kentucky State University is the most diverse among the state’s public universities. KSU offers degrees at all levels including certificates, Associates, Bachelors, Masters, and Doctorate. Our location in the capital city permits the University to offer unique and outstanding state government student internships.
