About the College/Department:

Eastern Kentucky University is a regional, coeducational, public institution of higher education offering general and liberal arts programs, pre-professional and professional training in education and various other fields at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Located in Richmond, Madison County, Kentucky, EKU has a distinguished record of more than a century of educational service to the Commonwealth. Eastern Kentucky University is committed to access, equal opportunity, dignity, respect, and inclusion for all people, as integral to a learning environment in which intellectual creativity and diversity thrives.

EKU is situated in the heart of the Bluegrass, an interesting place to work and an excellent place to live. Go camping and hiking in one of Kentucky’s beautiful state parks, climb in the world-class Red River Gorge, cycle the Sheltowee Trace mountain bike trail, or spend a day at the races at the historic Keeneland thoroughbred track that are all within a one-hour drive of campus!

Richmond is served by a network of major highways that make EKU easily accessible from all parts of Kentucky and surrounding states. Richmond is 26 miles southeast of Lexington, Kentucky. Interstate Highways I-75 (north-south) and I-64 (east-west) make the metropolitan areas of Cincinnati, 112 miles to the north, and Louisville, 110 miles to the west, within convenient distance by automobile. Richmond is also served by U.S. Route 25 from Southeastern Kentucky and Kentucky Route 52 from the east and west. The Bluegrass, Mountain, Daniel Boone, and Cumberland Parkways provide even greater accessibility by automobile since the city is located near the convergence of these arterial highways into the interstate system.

EKU is dedicated to high-quality instruction, scholarship, and service, and places emphasis on the three in that order. Through its colleges and schools, the University seeks to offer quality instruction at a variety of degree levels in general education, the arts, the sciences, business, education, pre-professional and professional areas, and applied and technical disciplines. Through consultative services, continuing education, and the extended campus, the University seeks to provide service to the community and the region. Research seeks both to advance knowledge in the subject matter areas with which the University is concerned and to support the primary function of teaching.

The Department of Physics, Geosciences, & Astronomy offers the Bachelor of Science in Environmental and Applied Geology (with academic and professional concentrations), the Bachelor of Science in Physics (with concentrations in General Physics, Engineering Physics, and Teaching Physics) a Certificate in Geographic Information Science (GIS), and Minors in Earth Science/Teaching, Environmental Geosciences, Geography, Geology, Physics, and Physics/Teaching.
