At a Glance

Kentucky has a variety of nationally-known academic pathways as well as a large number that are unique to the state. These range from local programs and partnerships to statewide initiatives. Priority is given to the credit-based transition mechanisms including dual credit, which has grown enormously, and AP. The state places a high priority on engaging high school students in college level work. Adult education is another major priority, including meeting the needs of high numbers of students ages 19-24. There is a very high adult illiteracy rate, and the state recognizes the need for a better educated populace, especially to meet workforce needs. This includes the GED to college pathway.
