Our Degrees and Programs
WKU–O offers Bachelor’s degree opportunities through 2+2 programs and completion degrees. Students take two years of classes at a Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) school or other college and then take their junior and senior years of classes at WKU–O. WKU faculty teach all WKU classes either at Owensboro Community and Technical College, face–to–face, or via distance learning (online or IVS).
Online programs are completed entirely through distance learning courses. Onsite programs consist primarily of physical classroom courses and include some online and/or independent learning courses.
