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.
In assisting students, the college sponsors a nationally recognized freshman support program committed to helping students make the transition from high school to college. All Cumberland students take part in leadership seminars and community service projects. The college supports its academic programs through full access to the Internet and its own on-campus intranet system.
