| CAMPUS SUMMARY |
 |
Founded as a private liberal arts college in 1889, Cumberland College officially and proudly became University of the Cumberlands on July 1, 2005. Located on three hills consisting of approximately 50 acres, UC offers a picturesque campus with stately buildings and rolling green lawns nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian mountain range in Southeastern Kentucky. Within a few miles of campus are Laurel Lake, Cumberland Falls State Park, Cumberland Gap National Park, and the Daniel Boone National Forest. Christian values foster a supportive caring atmosphere at UC. While the university is affiliated with the Kentucky Baptist Convention, students of all denominations can be found on campus, and all receive the same wide-ranging opportunities for spiritual growth and Christian fellowship. The undergraduate student body averages around 1,800 students from as far away as South Africa and as near as our own neighborhood and represents 40 states and 30 countries. |

| UNIQUE/SPECIAL PROGRAMS |
|
All of our programs are designed to place students in the best possible environment to grow academically, socially, and spiritually. The university's commitment begins with a highly qualified faculty. While they are some of the finest scholars in their fields, their first love is teaching. Faculty and staff here feel a strong sense of calling to serve at Cumberlands. Their commitment to students extends well beyond the boundaries of the traditional classroom to include out of class discussions, personal conferences in their offices or other places on campus, and even invitations to their homes. They are not here to just do a job, they have the desire to serve others.
A wide range of opportunities is available here at Cumberlands. We are especially proud of our outstanding library, computer labs, Distance Learning Center, opportunities for international travel and study, honor societies, social organizations, Leadership Training Program, and Community Service Programs. All of these, and many others, are important elements of the total University of the Cumberlands experience. |
