Kentucky’s First HBCU

The Simmons College experience is about more than just earning a degree: It’s about growing personally and spiritually. It’s about expanding our students’ understanding of global cultures. It’s about putting them in position to make a positive difference in the world.

Simmons College offers Black students an environment where they can explore the world from a familiar place with the support of a welcoming, learning family. Developing and nurturing the potential of tomorrow’s Black leaders—tomorrow’s difference makers—is our purpose, and it represents the dreams of the formerly enslaved persons who built our college more than 140 years ago.

A REWARDING UNDERGRADUATE EXPERIENCE

Students benefit from one-on-one instruction and personalized attention. In fact, Simmons College of Kentucky’s 9 to 1 student-faculty ratio ranks in the top five of all HBCUs.

Our campus is located in the heart of Louisville’s bustling downtown, convenient to entertainment, restaurants and housing. Plus, it’s only a few hours’ drive from Chicago, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Nashville, Atlanta and other exciting destinations.
