Located in the heart of Appalachia, University of the Cumberlands is an institution of regional distinction that offers undergraduate degrees in every major field of study as well as several pre-professional, graduate, and doctoral programs. With a total enrollment of more than 20,000 students, Cumberlands is the largest private university in Kentucky. In recent years, Cumberlands has been named the best university in Kentucky for online programs. It has also been named a College of Distinction more than five times. The Chronicle of Higher Education has also named University of the Cumberlands the third-fastest-growing university in the U.S. Cumberlands students come from all around the U.S. and a number of foreign countries. Classes are small to ensure each student receives the individualized attention they need to succeed in the classroom. To instill in students the desire to be agents of change in the world who use their knowledge and talents for the benefit of others and themselves, all Cumberlands students participate in community service by the time they graduate. Ultimately, the university strives to provide a high-quality, liberal arts education enriched with Christian values to students of all backgrounds who have dreams of pursuing higher education. In 2018, the university launched the Cumberlands Commitment, with lowered tuition by 57 percent for on-campus students making it among the most affordable colleges in Kentucky. A year later, free textbooks were given to on-campus students as part of the same initiative. Today, as part of the Cumberlands Commitment, all students are offered the One Price Promise which ensures everything a student needs to succeed is included in their tuition.
