Undergraduate Graduate
74% of undergrads are Kentucky residents, representing all 120 counties(Nearly 8,000 come from other states/countries, at cost of $0 to the Commonwealth)
Controlling college costs is a major concern for AIKCU members as well as for students and families
Reigning in tuition increases:
•Average tuitions well below regional and national private college averages
•2011-11 to 2011-12 average increase was 4.9%. 2011-12 to 2012-13 average increase is 4.4%. (Historically tuition increases averaged 6%.)
•Tuition increases offset in many cases by increases to financial aid budgets
Support for students:
•More than $200 million annually in institutional aid
•Average tuition discount rate approximately 40%
•Serve high proportions of Pell recipients
•Collaborations with KCTCS to encourage transfer
Emphasize degree completion in 4 years: Approximately 40% of all first-time, full-time students graduate in 4 years, reducing total cost to degree
Core values tied to student success, providing value: Focus on teaching, learning and outcomes: faculty mentoring, intense advising, internships, experiential learning, career counseling, connecting liberal arts to careers, civic engagement, undergraduate research

Minimizing costs and maximizing efficiencies
Business as usual is not a business model: Campuses have taken a variety of approaches to increase efficiencies, contain internal costs, refine business practices, and grow strategically in response to the economic challenges of recent years.
Collaborative cost containment:
•35+ business partnerships through AIKCU to promote cost savings
•AIKCU Benefit Trust: 10 member campuses participate in AIKCU!s self-funded, collaborative employee health insurance program (of 13 campuses that employ a self-funded model)
More than $300 million in capital construction during recession: Primarily achieved through fundraising, but AIKCU campuses have also employed creative use of tax credit and other financing options
Academic growth:
•New programs in response to local/regional needs
•Continued focus on opportunities for adult students and KCTCS transfers

2011-12 AIKCU Campus Highlights
Alice Lloyd College
Alice Lloyd College is currently involved in a number of campus projects totaling $2.5 million – all paid for through fund-raising. The college has also received approval to add a kinesiology major.
Asbury University
More than 50 Asbury University students — plus some faculty and staff — will be working as paid broadcast professionals at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London (July 27-August 12). Since 1984, Asbury’s award-winning Communication Arts program has sent students to the Los Angeles, Calgary, Atlanta, Sydney, Salt Lake, Athens, Torino, Beijing and Vancouver Olympics as working/paid camera operators, camera assistants, public relations officers (liaisons) and audio assistants alongside the industry’s top professional broadcasters. Asbury is the only school in the world that has been invited to send students in this capacity. Asbury is also sending another dozen students to report/blog/broadcast — for Web sites, newspapers and even daily television programming — for media outlets around the country.
Bellarmine University
To improve education in the Commonwealth, Bellarmine University's Annsley Frazier Thornton School of Education has developed three innovative new partnerships. The school — which last year launched a new Ph.D. in Education and Social Change — has partnered with the Eminence School District so that high school juniors and seniors can visit Bellarmine two days a week to earn college credit, while enjoying exposure to — and involvement in — campus life. A collaboration with Nativity Academy at St. Boniface lends financial and curriculum support to the innovative Catholic middle school for at-risk urban youth. A new relationship with Oldham County Public Schools will provide 40 elementary school teachers with advanced coursework on teaching reading skills next year.
Berea College
On July 1 Berea will welcome Lyle D. Roelofs, Ph.D. as the 9th president of the college. Dr. Roelofs currently serves as provost and dean of the faculty (on leave), and professor of physics at Colgate University. He will succeed current Berea president Larry D. Shinn, who is retiring on June 30. Thanks to reforms implemented over the last several years by President Shinn, Berea has been able to reduce its cost of education in each of the last two years.
Brescia University
In the past year, Brescia University welcomed the largest freshman class since 1979, along with the largest undergraduate degree seeking enrollment since 1982. In December 2011, the University received reaffirmation of accreditation with SACS, and recently our Social Work program was reaffirmed by the Council on Social Work Education, Commission on Accreditation, which makes it the first accredited online undergraduate social work degree completion program in the country. Last year the Brescia University Board of Trustees approved a new campus Master Plan, which will provide direction for future growth and improve the campus visually.

Campbellsville University
Campbellsville University has worked this year on improving tuition aid for our students. CU has given an increase to students in 14 surrounding counties with up to $1,500 additional funds above their KEES monies in a renewable scholarship. CU also launched a new “work to learn” program to help our students. For the past two years, more than 60 percent of our freshmen classes have been first generation college students, and more than 90 percent of CU students receive financial aid of various types.
Centre College
Centre College secured the 10.11.12 General Election Debate between the nation’s two vice presidential candidates. This event – as it did in 2000 – will announce around the globe that the Commonwealth of Kentucky and Centre College are places where important conversations affecting our country and the world take place. An evening when everybody associated with the Commonwealth and higher education wins!
Georgetown College
Georgetown College was recently selected for the second straight grant cycle by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute to receive a $1.1 million grant for expanding the pool of highly talented leaders in science research and education who hail from first-generation backgrounds as well as under-served counties. Just as four years ago, Georgetown was the only Kentucky institution chosen.
Kentucky Christian University
Kentucky Christian University is implementing a new Biology/pre-professional degree program, preparing undergraduate students for professional schools of medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, physical therapy, and other professional schools of health sciences. The project includes a "fast track" option that will allow high school students to obtain college credit through distance education, enabling them to complete their bachelor’s degree in three years post-high school.
Kentucky Wesleyan College
Kentucky Wesleyan College has experienced significant growth and activity in its music program during the 2011-2012 academic year. With new leadership from Professors Paul Oakley and Dennis Jewett, the Kentucky Wesleyan Singers performed to outstanding receptions in 26 churches, including a spring break tour that took them to 11 cities in 5 states, in addition to appearances at the General Conference of the United Methodist Church in Tampa and the Kentucky Annual Conference of the UMC in Covington. Next year a new band program under the leadership of Professor Steven Pederson will be added to the outstanding choral program and to the talents of concert pianist and Artist-in-Residence Dr. Diane Earle.
Lindsey Wilson College
Lindsey Wilson College was named a Bonner Scholar school thanks to a $1 million matching gift from the Corella and Bertram F. Bonner Foundation of Princeton, N.J. About 65 LWC students will receive Bonner scholarships (sizes vary depending on year, GPA and level of service) in exchange for service learning.

Mid-Continent University
In an effort to keep costs low for students, Mid-Continent University has frozen tuition for the third year in a row for 2012-13. This three-year freeze follows an initial reduction in tuition in 2010-11, making tuition lower today than it was in 2009-10.
Midway College
Midway College dedicated a new Learning Resource Center last fall. It is a handsome facility with faculty and academic staff offices, classrooms, conference rooms and an equine lab.
St. Catharine College
St. Catharine College enrolled the first classes in its new Graduate School in January 2012. The master’s program in leadership has areas of concentration in community and regional studies and health promotion and leadership. St. Catharine’s physical campus is changing to accommodate its continuing academic expansion. A new residential complex opened in fall 2011 and the new $9 million, 40,000 square foot Hundley Library and Graduate School is on track to be completed in December 2012.
Spalding University
Spalding has secured the historic “Cosmopolitan” building on 2nd street, which will provide 40,000 additional square feet of classroom/academic use and be named the Republic Bank Academic Building. The physical growth accommodates continually increasing demand for Spalding programs – Spalding awarded a record 620 degrees this spring.
Thomas More College
Thomas More launched TMC3, an innovative new three-year degree program that enables motivated undergraduate students in pursuit of a bachelor's degree a traditional college experience and an extra year of earning power. Qualified students can save both time and money by completing a traditional four-year bachelor's degree in just three years at a very competitive tuition rate.
Transylvania University
Transylvania has acquired 17.5 acres of land contiguous to our current 39 acre campus. Our intention is to ameliorate athletic facilities so as to accommodate our expanded offerings of lacrosse and track and field.
Union College
Union College is proud to announce the selection of Marcia A. Hawkins, Ph.D., as the institution’s 19th, and first female, president. Dr. Hawkins comes to Union from the National Institute of Technology in Liberal Education in Georgetown, Texas, and brings with her more than 20 years of experience in higher education. She will officially begin her presidential duties on July 1.

University of the Cumberlands
University of the Cumberlands continues to have the largest percentage of its students studying in the STEM areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics with 29% of the students majoring in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, engineering, or information systems.
University of Pikeville
The University of Pikeville has developed an initiative to increase bachelor degree attainment in Southeastern Kentucky. The bachelor degree attainment rate of the high school graduates of the coal producing counties of Eastern Kentucky is about one-half that of the rest of the state and the University of Pikeville has led the effort to address this problem. The General Assembly almost passed a comprehensive program of equalization scholarships and so the Governor has approved a pilot program for graduates of the high schools in nine counties to encourage those who have at least 60 credit hours to pursue a bachelor degree. The CPE will evaluate the results of the program in the fall of 2013 and report to the Governor and General Assembly.
