The Army taught Allen to perform under pressure, adapt quickly, and stay focused on
the mission — lessons he continues to apply at work, in the classroom, and through
his community service.
“My experience at Kentucky State has reinforced my belief that leadership is about
serving others, creating opportunities, and leaving a lasting legacy for future generations.”
Allen Claycomb, MBA student
Before enrolling in KYSU Online, I earned an Associate of Applied Science in Paralegal Technology from Gateway Community and Technical College. To advance my career as a certified judicial support specialist and judicial secretary for a circuit court judge, I knew I needed a bachelor's degree.
KYSU Online was the perfect fit. The tuition discount available through my employer, the Administrative Office of the Courts, along with KYSU’s flexible online format, allowed me to balance school, work, and family. As a result, I enrolled as a full-time student.
Dawn Lovelace, KYSU Online Graduate
As a Louisville native, Kentucky State University's Doctor of Nursing Practice program was the perfect fit for me. After learning about the program from an alumnus and discovering its strong reputation, I knew I had found the right place. Becoming the first person in my family to earn a doctorate is an achievement I'll always cherish, and I am deeply grateful for the grant support that helped make my dream a reality.
