Students from the Glasgow-Barren County region who want to complete their degree close to home will have two new options beginning this fall. 

WKU in Glasgow will increase offerings to 11 majors. The Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) and a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education (IECE) are majors that will be added. Other majors include Criminology, Elementary Education, Special Education/Elementary Education Dual Certification, Health Sciences, Interdisciplinary Studies, Management – Business Administration, Middle Grades Education, Psychology, and Sociology.

“We are so excited to add new degree options for students throughout this region and give them even more options to prepare for a fulfilling career within their community,” said Dr. Derick B. Strode, campus director.

“Social work and early childhood development are two rewarding professional areas with worker shortages,” added Strode. “These programs help address that challenge, increasing the number of trained, qualified professionals to fulfill our local workforce demands.”

WKU makes college affordable by offering a variety of scholarships, including first-time freshmen scholarships, transfer scholarships and transfer Phi Theta Kappa scholarships, as well as numerous scholarships supported by local businesses, organizations, and individuals.

Students who plan to transfer attend  WKU in Glasgow are encouraged to contact their advisor now and register early for fall semester courses
