About

History

It all began in 1946 at the Trailways Bus Station in Covington, Kentucky. A handful of students and instructors participated in classes offered through the University of Kentucky’s educational extension services. The students were secretaries, recent high school graduates, and World War II veterans on the G.I. Bill.

A great school with many possibilities
Coralynn Spicer rated 4 out of 5 stars

At NKU I was always able to find people to assist me. With the honors college, I was able to work with students in other majors, and see more of what NKU had to offer. I changed my major a few times and everyone was always receptive to my thoughts. I had a great time at NKU, and would recommend them.
