Did you know Mid-Continent University is the fastest growing of all Kentucky universities? Even though Mid-Continent University was established in 1949, the first ADVANTAGE class was launched 50 years later. MCU has experienced significant growth since the inception of ADVANTAGE. In a review of the past decade, MCU has grown 399%, nearly four times more than the second fastest growing school, Campbellsville University, at 115.9%. To put this tremendous growth in perspective, the fastest growing public university was Western Kentucky University at 34.7%. See how Kentucky schools are growing...Learn more.

72% of ADVANTAGE students indicate on surveys that this is the primary reason they chose MCU. With classes one night a week in your own community or ONLINE, previous barriers to reaching personal goals are removed.	Unparalleled service is provided, including onsite visits by registration, advising, financial aid, and even book delivery. It can be difficult even getting into school since most schools close their offices at 5 PM when adult students are typically still at work.
ADVANTAGE professors are rated 4.6 on a 5.0 scale on average by students. Your professors know you by name. MCU has a 15:1 student to faculty ratio.	Mid-Continent graduates owe the third lowest debt in the state. Get the facts here.

Mid-Continent University is a private Christian college located in Mayfield, KY that offers classes all over Western Kentucky and Southern Illinois.  These classes are geared toward working adults whose work restrictions would prevent them from taking traditional classes.

MCU realizes that going back to school as an adult can be challenging.  This has driven us to tailor the Advantage programs to the needs of working adults, to provide a convenient, engaging classroom experience that provides students with practical knowledge they can use immediately, as well as the preparation needed for greater responsibility in the future.  MCU seeks to address the diverse needs of its students in this three-fold goal:

• Achievability

  - By offering classes in an accelerated format (one night a week, one class at a time), MCU can put students on the fast track to their degree.  Without the burden of having to juggle several classes, students can work full-time and concentrate on just one class.

• Accessibility

  -With MCU's growing number of satellite class sites, it is very likely there is a class meeting in your area!  MCU works with many schools and business to provide classrooms all over Kentucky and southern Illinois.

• Affordability

  -Along with having some of the lowest tuition rates in Kentucky, MCU works with many institutions to provide numerous financial aid options for its students.  Many students have completed their degree paying little to nothing out of pocket!
