Online Doctoral Programs at Universities in Kentucky

Listings in Kentucky identify where the institution (or its administering campus) is located. They do not mean you must live there, and an online degree based in Kentucky is not automatically open to every Kentucky resident or to international applicants — check each program's state authorization and licensure notes.
