In 2013, West Kentucky Community and Technical College (WKCTC) was recognized by The Aspen Institute as one of the top 10 community colleges in the nation for a second consecutive year. In this national review of community colleges, WKCTC was recognized for excelling at providing students with strong job training and continuing higher education opportunity, for achieving high completion and transfer rates, and for realizing strong employment results for our graduates. Our focus on improving student learning helps ensure our students graduate with the knowledge they need to secure jobs or transfer to four-year schools. Evidence shows that students who transfer to four-year schools from WKCTC do better in their junior and senior years than other Kentucky students.
