At the EKU-Corbin Campus, you may pursue an academic degree and take classes for personal enrichment and enjoyment.. You may fulfill all the general education requirements (freshman and sophomore level) necessary to earn a baccalaureate degree. Most four-year, degree-seeking students will complete their degree on the Richmond campus.

Whether you are entering college for the first time or transferring from another college or university, admission procedures at Eastern are simple. All prospective students must take the American College Testing Program (ACT) exam prior to enrollment. Students who transfer to Eastern from other colleges experience a smooth transition, as EKU accepts most credits earned at other accredited schools.
