History of the College


In the spring of 1966, a new department at Eastern Kentucky State College offered its first class. Though supremely modest at first, that program joined a select group of colleges where law enforcement officers could study and earn degrees in their field. More than 40 years later, that department has matured into the College of Justice, Safety, and Military Science, and is recognized as a Program of Distinction.
