Dr. Barbara Veazey
The Aspen Institute has selected West Kentucky Community and Technical College as one of the Top 10 community colleges in the nation each of the three consecutive times it has awarded the Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence, the nation’s signature recognition of high achievement and performance in America’s community colleges. West Kentucky was named a top five community colleges and a “Finalist with Distinction” in 2011. In 2015 for a second time, the College was once again named a “Finalist with Distinction”and named one of the top three community colleges in the nation. West Kentucky was recognized for outstanding achievement in the areas of student learning outcomes, degree and college completion, labor market success in students securing jobs after college, and minority and low-income student success. Our focus on improving student learning helps ensure our students graduate with the knowledge they need to secure jobs or transfer to four-year schools. West Kentucky Community and Technical College also provides a great return on your investment. The White House’s recently released College Score Card, ranked WKCTC’s average net price in the low range compared to other community colleges in the nation. The report added that individuals who graduate with an associate degree will make on average almost $5,000 more a year than individuals who only have a high school diploma. West Kentucky has a long history of helping students achieve their dream by providing an array of options to fit student needs and foster student success. I hope you enjoy your visit with our college!
