What are the advantages of the Patterson School being attached to a major state university?
There are many, but we will note here three. First, our programs of study are flexible and can be tailored closely to match a student’s individual interests and career ambitions. Many Patterson students complement core coursework with classes from not only standard arts and sciences disciplines, but also the law school, business school and agricultural school. Kentucky is one of only seven American universities that maintain on a single campus these, plus a medical and pharmacy school. Indeed, as environmental and health challenges have risen in international affairs, this diversity of class offerings will become ever more vital. Second, the cost of education at a public institution can be decidedly lower than a private one. This makes our program an option for a wider range of students and can also enable our graduates to pursue less lucrative careers in public service or the non-profit sector.
