Student Demographics

The founding mission of KYVU was to make Kentucky's postsecondary education system more accessible, efficient and responsive to our citizens and businesses. One of KYVU's ongoing goals is to increase the ranks of college enrollees and graduates throughout the Commonwealth. Statistics show that, as KYVU opportunities become more widely known, we are succeeding not only in Kentucky, but also across the country!

• Student Enrollment. In less than the three years since we opened the virtual campus, KYVU course enrollments have increased dramatically-from 272 in the fall of 1999 to a high of 6,281 in the spring of 2002. KYVU now draws students from 35 states, in addition to Kentucky, and 11 foreign countries. All of Kentucky's 120 counties (34K PDF) are represented in the KYVU student population. (Fall 2001)
  
  
• Gender. Sixty-eight percent women and 31 percent men (with 1 percent undisclosed) made up the KYVU student population. (Fall 2001)
  
  
• Age. KYVU students represent a wide range of age generations. Among those who responded, the highest number of students comes from the 23 to 30-years-old bracket. In descending order, from next highest to least are: 18 to 22 years old, 31 to 40 years old, 41 to 50 years old, and under age 18. (Fall 2001)
