Kentucky Income and the Price of Education

As college becomes more and more expensive, it is important to know the options available to incoming students and their families.

This map illustrates Kentucky post-secondary, non-profit, public 4-year colleges in purple, private 4-year colleges in yellow, and the 2-year Kentucky Community and Technical College System in red. The size of the circle representing the school is relative to their cost. The larger the circle, the higher the cost. Berea College and Alice Lloyd College have unique, tuition-free opportunities.

This map also illustrates the 2014 Kentucky Median Household Income per the U.S. Census to contrast the cost of post-secondary education with the current tuition costs of Kentucky Colleges and Universities
