Transylvania University

by

Transylvania University is a small, private school in Lexington, Kentucky, offering a liberal arts education since 1780. It is the 16th oldest institution of higher learning in the United States and the first college west of the Allegheny Mountains. It’s also the 28th oldest college in the nation. The university is renown for its long rich history and its commitment to academic excellence. The majority of the recognized academic programs are carried out within four diverse academic schools: science, business, liberal arts and education. With a 13-1 student to faculty ratio and 94% of classes having fewer than 50 students, Transylvania offers a unique learning experience where student success is paramount. Students not only get to study with some of the best faculty but outside of the classroom, they are also encouraged to develop meaningful relationships, tap into the region’s culture and explore internships, research and service opportunities.
