I am pleased to welcome you to the internet home of Midway College. We have so many things we want to share with you about our history and our programs.
We have a rich history, beginning in 1847 with the establishment of the Kentucky Female Orphan School (KFOS). We celebrate the 160th anniversary of our institution this year and have so many milestones to mark our journey to the present day.
With the establishment of KFOS a brighter future for education of women and the underserved emerged in Kentucky. As KFOS evolved over the years, first to Pinkerton High School, then Midway Junior College, and finally Midway College, the mission to serve the underserved never wavered.
Today Midway College stands proudly on a hill in Midway, Kentucky, surrounded by 200 acres of lush horse farm land and beautiful buildings that date from 1858 to 2003. However, we are not just the traditional women’s college that our predecessor KFOS grew into. We are also a school for men and women who are seeking to better their lives with a quality education delivered in a convenient format.
Our women’s college continues today as the only women’s college in Kentucky. There are four pillar programs within the women’s college, including business, equine, nursing, and teacher education. We also offer athletic teams in basketball, volleyball, softball, soccer, cross country, track, and tennis; and riding teams in hunt seat, eventing, and western.
Our School for Career Development (SCD) and Midway College Online (MCO) serve a rapidly growing population of adult learners, who seek to complete a degree without complicating their lives. The accelerated formats of the courses in SCD and MCO allow adult learners to complete their major in less than two years in most cases. SCD offerings are available on the Midway campus and at 18 off-site locations throughout Kentucky, in partnership with the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS). MCO offers students the ability to take classes online anytime, anywhere.
As you read through our website you will learn more about these things and about the other facets of Midway College that make this place so unique. Thank you for your interest in Midway College.
Sincerely,
Dr. William B. Drake, Jr.
President
