Cumberland offers a picturesque campus with stately buildings and rolling green lawns nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian mountain range in Southeastern Kentucky. Within a few miles of campus are Laurel Lake, Cumberland Falls State Park, Cumberland Gap National Park, and the Daniel Boone National Forest.
Christian values foster a supportive caring atmosphere at Cumberland.
While the college is affiliated with the Kentucky Baptist Convention, students of all denominations can be found on campus, and all receive the same wide-ranging opportunities for spiritual growth and Christian fellowship. The student body averages around 1,600 students from as far away as South Africa and as near as our own neighborhood and represents 28 states and 18 foreign countries. This curriculum is directed by a faculty dedicated to teaching and assisting students to achieve their educational goals. No courses are taught by graduate students. Many opportunities exist for international studies and special internships.
