Western Kentucky University-Owensboro (WKU-O) is a regional campus of Western Kentucky University offering public,post-secondary education. WKU-O offers 23 undergraduate degrees, partnering with the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) in a +2 program. Located on U.S. Route 231 directly east of Owensboro Community and Technical College (OCTC) and only minutes south of the Ohio River, WKU-O offers benefits of a university while maintaining personal student/staff relationships and a sense of community. ==History== Western Kentucky University's presence in Owensboro dates to 1969. At that time offices were established on the campus of Kentucky Wesleyan College and classes were conducted at KWC and Brescia University, concentrating primarily on graduate courses. As the demand for a public university alternative in the Daviess County (KY) area increased, undergraduate courses in nursing and education were added to the course schedule. In July, 1980, the WKU-O campus was officially established. As a result of growing enrollment, operations were moved to the Longfellow building immediately north of Owensboro High School, and classes were held there and on the OHS campus. After 16 years at the Longfellow location, increasing enrollment forced another change in venue. In 2005, the WKU-O campus relocated to the main campus of OCTC. Classes were also conducted at the OCTC southeast campus. In 2007, and agreement between Daviess County fiscal court and Western Kentucky University provided land and earmarked funds for a permanent facility for WKU-O. Phase I of this project, a state-of-the-art facility, was dedicated for use in the spring of 2010. Features include 18 classrooms (6 with IVS capabilities), two conference rooms, one with accommodations for 60(with tables) to 100(without tables), the other suitable for board/conference meetings complete with audio/visual equipment for teleconferencing, a computer lab with 27 work stations, a full service book/gift store, electronic library, several casual seating areas for students, and administrative offices to handle the daily business of running a university campus in house. As WKU-O enters its 5th decade of operation, plans to expand and provide Daviess County and the surrounding community with a quality public education option are moving forward. The need for higher education in western Kentucky will continue to grow, and so will WKU-O.
